CNN.com is reporting:
LED ZEPPELIN frontman ROBERT PLANT says he owes his career in rock and roll music to a bit of good luck and even better timing.
Plant told CNN's Becky Anderson that he first got his appetite for rock music at the age of 13 and that it was all by "default."
"I was looking for a way out as I was a grammar school boy and doing three hours of homework a night and at that time it was 1961," Plant said on Connect the World."You had ELVIS and EDDIE COCHRANE telling us of another world. I don't know how much more expressive you can get than being a rock and roll singer."
Plant went on to say that although he was interested in trigonometry and foreign languages, he could not have chosen a path in life that didn't include music.
The 62-year-old musician said his new album, called Band Of Joy, was not difficult to make at all. "Each record, if it involves different personalities, will take a different color and a different time," Plant said.
"I think with this particular combination of players and singers, the results were very quick. It felt very fast and fluent."It was probably the easiest record I've made since I was a child."
