ROBERT PLANT

Robert Plant chante sur un titre (It's Gonna Rain) du nouvel album d'Amy Cook intitulé Summer Skin qui sortira le 28 août :

On August 28th, Amy Cook will release Summer Skin, her follow-up to 2010's Let the Light In, on Roothouse Records. The album features guest appearances by such stars as Patti Griffin, Ben Kweller and Robert Plant. However, according to Cook, the duet with the Led Zeppelin frontman wasn't exactly planned.

"Robert Plant had come to the studio with Patty [Griffin] and was sitting next to me in the control room and he said, 'Do you mind if I give it a go?'" Cook tells Rolling Stone. "I did not mind. He sang it a couple of times and it was perfect."

Plant's harmony vocals appear on "It's Gonna Rain," a smoky ballad that makes ample use of the familiar "Stand by Me" chord progression. Cook describes it as a "song of hope," explaining, "'It's Gonna Rain' is a song I wrote for a friend who had had a rough couple of years."

Listen to "It's Gonna Rain" here, and check out Cook's August tour dates below.

8/15 Philadelphia, PA – Tin Angel
8/16 New York, NY – City Winery

Dans la rubrique "On s'en branle", Robert Plant apparaitra sur le prochain album de Primal Scream. Plant avait déjà participé au titre The Lord Is My Shotgun sur Evil Heat en 2002 :

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant will guest on the forthcoming album by Primal Scream, due for release next year.

NME reports that Plant, in a new interview with Mojo magazine, said he wants to carry on singing, but doesn't want to start a new band or make a full album.

"Everything we did back in those days, and everything I have done since, has been based on a fresh approach,” said Plant. “What's going on? What can I be as a singer that doesn't play much? That's how I see everything: what can I be a part of that's exciting? And if anybody's got any ideas, then I'm always up for it."

"I sang a bit on the Primal's stuff,” he added, “because I think their references on looking back on the glorious past and the way they bring them into the contemporary world are fantastic."

The acts have recorded together in the past, with Plant playing harmonica on 2002 track “The Lord Is My Shotgun”, which appeared on the band's “Evil Heat” album.

Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters are currently in the middle of a South American tour, which wraps up in Lima, Peru on November 9.

Je me suis remis Mighty Rearranger et je conserve cette impression très positive que j'avais eue à sa sortie. Envoûtant, passionnant et éclectique, voici tous les qualificatifs que j'attribuerai à cet album magnifique à travers des titres comme Tin Pan Valley, The Enchanter, All The Kings Horses et bien d'autres.

Oh que je plussoie, superbe concert en plus

Photo sans doute prise aujourd'hui en compagnie de Mme La Maire de Santiago du Chili (concert prévu demain).

J'adore , c'est très frais , merci Phil.

A la fin du concert de Buenos Aires du 1er novembre, Robert Plant s'est fait agripper gentiment par un fan qui est carrément monté sur scène (vers 3'36), la sécurité intervenant immédiatement :

Robert Plant was knocked over when a fan jumped onstage during a concert in Buenos Aires last week.

Plant, currently in the middle of a South American tour with The Sensational Space Shifters, played two shows at Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires.

During the closing of the November 1 concert, Robert finished Led Zeppelin’s “Rock & Roll” and was saying goodnight to the audience when a fan jumped onstage and ran towards the singer; Plant ducked to miss him, was bumped from behind by security and fell to the stage while the crew tackled the intruder.

Plant got up and brushed himself off, and said “Easy, easy” to the security crew as they removed the fan from the stage.

"Thank you very much for the fun," said Robert as he left the stage.

Plant wraps up his South American tour in Lima, Peru on November 9.

Robert Plant va sortir une bio en octobre 2013 au Royaume Uni et en janvier 2014 aux US :

HarperCollins has signed world rights for a major new biography of Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant.

The Book Seller reports “Robert Plant: A Life” is written by former Q and Kerrang! editor Paul Rees, and is based on in-depth interviews with those closest to to the Led Zeppelin frontman as well as access to the singer himself.

The book will be released in the UK in October 2013, and appear in the US in January 2014.

It will follow Plant's career from early folk gigs in the 1960s in the Black Country, to his globe-spanning success with rock pioneers Led Zeppelin, as well as his recent Grammy-winning career working alongside bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.

"Robert Plant¹s stature as one of the greatest frontmen of all time is without question and as fans of his music from Led Zep to present, we have long wanted to publish his story,” said Natalie Jerome, publishing director at Harper Non-Fiction UK. “This book is as close to Plant telling his own story in his own words as we've seen or heard to date. Paul's close professional relationship with Robert is going to make for a revealing read and we can't wait to bring one of the greatest untold rock n' roll stories to the world."

Robert Plant a annoncé les deux premiers shows de sa tournée 2013 avec les Sensational Space Shifters. Ils auront lieu les 5 et 6 juillet au George Amphitheatre à George dans l'état de Washington.

Former Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant has announced his first 2013 American show with his backing band, Sensational Space Shifters. Plant and the Space Shifters will be performing at the inaugural JamBase Live Festival, taking place July 5-6 at the George Amphitheatre in George, Washington. Other performers at the festival include Bruce Hornsby & the Noisemakers and Robert Randolph & the Family Band.

At the present time, there are no other American dates Plant’s official site. Could this bode well for planning a 2014 Led Zeppelin reunion? Only time will tell.

Plant has been busy as of late, contributing vocals to partner Patty Griffin’s upcoming record while also making plans with Griffin for a new Band of Joy album.

The singer has also thrown his support behind the Bell Community Buyout, which is raising money to rescue a Bath, UK venue called the Bell that is under the threat of closure. The public is being encouraged to buy shares ranging from £500 to £20,000 to help the venue remain open.

“For the last ten years or so many of my musical adventures have been with friends from Bristol and Bath, so I’m fully aware of the Bell and its legacy and its contribution to the musicians and audience in the surrounding area,” Plant says.

“To me, the Bell is a crucial and integral venue and a great window into the world of music and entertainment in the West Country.”

Cette interview date d'hier alors que le vocaliste se trouve au Timbre Rock Roots Festival à Singapour.Dans un premier temps, il évoque ses influences notamment le blues us puis ses nombreuses expériences au Maroc où il s'est rendu plusieurs fois. Ensuite il évoque son côté perfectionniste. Il s'agit d'une conversation d'une platitude absolue où il évoque principalement comment il envisage la musique aujourd'hui et qu'il a des centres d'intérêt autres comme la lecture ou le cinéma de temps à autre. Il dit qu'il va interpréter des chansons du Zep lors de sa prestation à Singapour. Concernant une reforamation du Zep, il dit que depuis son commentaire qu'il juge drôle, personne ne lui a répondu. Ca dure 20 sec. Après il embraye sur les fans de Singapour.
