Robert Plant Now and Zen Feb 1988

Feb 12, 2022

We are heading back to February 1988 when Robert Plant dropped his 4th solo record, Now and Zen. This was a big deal as he changed things up from prior solo works and started to embrace the fact that he was Robert F'n Plant who used to lead the biggest Rock & Roll band in the world. Jimmy Page joined him on 2 tracks and they sampled some Zep songs and threw in a Middle Eastern vibe. That flag on the cover belongs to his favorite football team the Wolverhampton Wanderers. Early copies of the record had miniature replicas inside. Your SOTD is "Tall Cool One" with those Zep samples and Page on guitar. https://youtu.be/Ka_ALgG9hqY
