![]() Mighty Rearranger $11.98 I can't review this product because it was sent damaged and unplayable. Vender has offered refund which has not gone through yet. ![]() Raising Sand $18.98 Raising Sand is the brilliance when two extraordinary talents meet at a crossroad. Plant and Krauss intertwine their styles and voices from tempered rock to earthy bluegrass providing a musical serendipity. The talent rises to the top with Raising Sand. It may take a few listens for it to grow on you but gaurantee the melodies and lyrics are sure to linger. ![]() Pictures At Eleven $11.98 Pictures At Eleven (1982) was Robert Plant's first solo album after the breakup of Led Zeppelin in 1980. I personally think it's his best solo album, ranking just above Manic Nirvana. This album contain eight good songs. A lot of people say this album sounds a lot like what Led Zeppelin would have sounded like had they continued on after John Bonham died. Or, they say it sounds a lot like Zeppelin's last studio album, In Through The Out Door (1979). But no matter how you view it, it's a Robert Plant album that really has its own distinct identity. While I agree to a certain extent on peoples' observations, there's a part of me that sees only certain elements of Led Zeppelin in this album. The rest is Robert Plant, solo career. The album starts with Burning Down One Side, a solid rock and roll song that is one of Plant's best songs of his entire solo career. Moonlight In Samosa is mellow and melodic. An excellent song. Pledge Pin features drumming by Phil Collins and a saxophone. Slow Dancer is a hard rock song with Plant sounding very much like he did when he was singing with Led Zeppelin. This song has a lot of good changes and is a good mix of hard and mellow. Worse Than Detroit is excellent. Good beat and melody and a middle section with fantastic guitar work. My favorite track on the album is Fat Lip. This is the signature song on the album, in my opinion. Another song with good changes. Like I've Never Been Gone is a slower song and one of the gems of the album. The last song on the album to me is a filler song that probably went unnamed, hence the title Mystery Title. It sort of reminds me of Led Zeppelin IV, the untitled fourth album. They couldn't think of a title for that one. Instead, they used symbols representing each member of the band. All in all, this is an outstanding album. This album kicked off Robert Plant's solo career in fine fashion. Highly recommended. ![]() Big Log (2006 Remastered) $0.99 I heard this song on the radio the other night, and it was so beautiful I had to find out what song it was. It has a smooth melody, and the lyrics have depth to them. Recommend highly. |
