Oud power

Robert Plant - Carry Fire (2017) 

Sometimes one forgets to check up on Robert Plant, but, from the evidence, I believe we can assume he’s keeping well fed and continues to be a very nice lad, minding his business, doing his psychedelic-country-folk-rock thing. Still, on the distinctive strength of the title track, feeding off Plant’s long running, highly promising, but never fully realized dalliance with North African music (the reunion with Jimmy Page, in No Quarter, probably came closest), I am truly still hoping for the likes of a full-on "Robert Plant presents the Master Musicians of Jajouka".
