I checked out his new CD, titled Mighty Rearranger, from my local library, 
after reading about it in one of these newsgroups.  Thanks.  I've been a fan 
of Plant ever since he struck out on his own after Led Zepplin.  He's a sort 
of pop singer, no question, but he crafts some very pleasing backup music. 
He's kept the LZ sound alive, IMO.

This last one, copyright 2005, has 4 tracks on it that rise to the level of 
Plant's best.  I'm esp pleased to see him incorporate some very modern 
guitar licks, e.g., looping and tracks played backwards.  He's willing to 
include long hypnotic instrumental passages and the international influences 
are clear, e.g., a Morrocan Tar drum.  The sum of those new things seems 
vaguely familiar.  In any event, I recommend this CD for anyone who likes 
Robert Plant's music.  Check you local library and make your own copy.
