CBS Local's Brian Ives reports:
Between reuniting with LED ZEPPELIN, collaborating with bluegrass singer ALISON KRAUSS and doing a covers album (2010?s Band Of Joy), it’s been a busy few years for ROBERT PLANT. And despite the news that he has written one new album with his backing band THE SENSATIONAL SPACE SHIFTERS and another with singer/songwriter BUDDY MILLER, Plant says he’s going to take it easy for a while.
“I think I might just chill for a while, to be honest,” he tells CBS Local. “I’m enjoying life and spending more time in America now. I really enjoy it. I’m becoming way more aware and opinionated and stimulated by these new adventures. Everybody says I’m workaholic, and I just keep going and going. And I will do that (again). But I want to explore more. When I think about how I was writing when I was a kid, when I was 20 or whatever, it was all about travel and journey and stimulus. I’m getting on a bit now, but I have to look at more stuff to be able to write cohesively.”Read the full report at this location.
