I've been a Zeppelin fan since the early 70's, but had no idea about this band. I just read about them on wiki.
Kind of shows you the awful state of radio, music companies that the front man of Led Zep has an acclaimed new group but even long time fans don't know it unless they actively run across it.
It seems in the age of the Internet some information gets lost? You can also blame the music companies for a poor business model and the fact that radio has been taken over by a handful of corporations so there are few independent radio stations in big markets that can bring new trends forward.
This does sound a lot like the Led Zep unplugged sessions. It seems Plant really fell for that unplugged sound and played with it since then and this new effort is the result.

Wrong again. The music companies are providing what their customer base wants,hip hop/rap crap. Most music buyers are under 30,and that is the crap the under 30 buyers listen to. People with genuine musical talent are out there producing good music every day,but you have to search them out because they aren't being pushed.
There are a few like Lady GaGa that does have amazing talent,but even she has to have a gimmick to sell records. Her self-promotion talents match her musical talents,or nobody would have ever heard of her,either. Even then I have no doubt a lot of her fan appeal is based more on her costumes than on her musical ability.
Here are two female singers that are perfect examples of what I am talking about. I say "female" instead of "women" because the first one was only 14 years old when this video was recorded. How a 14 year old can look like that and put that kind of emotion into a torch song is a total mystery to me,but there it is for all to see and hear.
How freaking scary was THAT?
The second one is a young woman who is in her mid-20's.
Thanks for posting these sneakypete. Damn, you have a good ear for this music. I actually would rather piss on a spark plug than listen to metal music. I'm not knocking it, to each their own; but it harshes my mellow way way too much.
Take a listen to how this Dread locked lovely who went from being a Subway busker who at best worked small bars with her bass player to nearly winning American Idol and getting a record contract did Frank Sinatra's Summer Wind. Tell me what you think. I love it, though this 25 year old child of the 21st Century seemed to miss Frank's touch of sadness to it.
I was pleased though she could do this music so well, she was way out of her comfort zone.

Live, shorter contest preformance on American Idol:

I have never understood the whole Sinatra thing so many people have. As far am I am concerned,his voice approached adequate at times,and that's it. Nothing special.
