Robert Plant - Dreamland

Delivery Time: 7 to 15 Working Days Format: Music

Dreamland is a creative piece with a new band and an inspired and eclectic collection of covers. The disc radiated a Zeppelin-like spirit on classics including "Darkness, Darkness," "Morning Dew," "One More Cup of Coffee," "Hey Joe," and the smashing original, "Red Dress." Two rare bonus cuts include "Dirt In A Hole" and a remix of "Last Time I Saw Her."
While it kicked considerable butt to see Robert Plant reunite with his old Led Zeppelin sidekick Jimmy Page, we all knew he would rather put on his skintight "Nurses Do It Better" T-shirt than have to sing "Kashmir" one more time. Over the last few years, the man perplexingly called Percy by his close friends immersed himself in his massive collection of '60s psych-folk records, put together a new band, and made a gorgeous solo album. Comprising mostly lush readings of little-known hits, it includes a heartbreaking take of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren," a supremely affecting run-through of Bob Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee," and, best of all, a rarefied version of Tim Rose's "Morning Dew." And his version of the Youngbloods' "Darkness, Darkness" is the sexiest thing this side of Jeff Buckley's "Everybody Here Wants You." --Aidin Vaziri
