March 25, 2016, 8 years ago
Austin City Limits recently announced new tapings, among them singer and songwriter Robert Plant, who returns to their stage for the first time in more than a decade on March 21st.
Plant traveled to ACL as part of his “Southern Journey”, visiting the “places that gave birth to so much of the music I love,” with a select run of live dates dubbed the Blues…Roots And Hollers tour. The music icon celebrates the American South as a continuation of the eclectic soulful journey he began since leaving Led Zeppelin decades ago. He has spent many years exploring Americana music and America itself, traveling though the US and collaborating with roots musicians, including Alison Krauss for 2009’s six-time Grammy-winning album Raising Sand.
Austin360.com posted that Plant and his SensationaL Space Shifters interspersed recent tunes along with such Led Zeppelin classics as "Black Dog", "Dazed And Confused", "Whole Lotta Love", "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", "In My Time Of Dying" and "Rock And Roll". Plant only dipped once into his underrated 1980s catalogue, with a rendition of 1983's "The Principle Of Moments" standout "I'm In The Mood". Plant's performance will air during Austin City Limits' upcoming 42nd season, which kicks off on PBS in October.
