Robert Plant on The One Show

Thanks to my nephew, Paul Loftus, I saw Robert Plant on The One Show on Friday. Plant is a great collaborator and makes stunning music in a variety of different styles when, as he says in the interview, he experiences a communion of souls. I particularly loved the albums he made with T Bone Burnett and Buddy Miller but his new album, though very different, sounds equally wonderful. Seeing him perform and talk, his enjoyment of the music and where it takes him is just massively evident.
