Robert Plant was the main guest on Later…With Jools Holland last night (October 28th), airing a pair of tracks from his latest solo album ‘lullaby and…The Ceaseless Roar’.
If you can, have a watch of the ‘Turn It Up‘ and ‘Little Maggie‘ performances below.
Of the album, Live4ever’s review reads: “‘lullaby’… is an album like they used to make back in the day. A complete document, a bold and total statement of intent, that fits together as a single piece of work. Plant has a lot of form in this area, so in many ways this fact is unsurprising. But what is surprising is just how well it does fit together.”
“The whole album has an emphasis on rhythm and mood. Overall it sounds like Tom Waits’ ‘Rain Dogs‘ as performed by Massive Attack, but it is also filled with the brooding, wandering menace of 16 Horsepower’s ‘Secret South‘. At every turn the music feels both threatening and threatened.”
Joining Plant on Later… were Counting Crows, tUnE-yArDs, Gedeon Luke and the People and Years & Years. An extended version will go out on the BBC this coming Friday.
