Like Eric Clapton (who you missed) explored the blues as he got older. I always interpreted it the other way around -- that older rockers turned to "respectable" genres like blues because they were done experimenting with new sounds.

No comment, but I'll still take Stevie any day... Lindsey Buckingham looks like he’s been ridden hard and put up wet.

I was highlighting blue-grass tinged parts of the CD because they seemed to be adding a new dimension to Plant's sound, in particular Alison Krauss's singing and fiddle playing. Thank you for your comment. Glad you care. I've seen Plant in concert a few times now, and not only is his singing astonishing, his obvious love for all forms of music is endearing. I believe he's actually a more versatile singer now than he was with Zeppelin, but obviously his style then was the perfect fit for Zeppelin.
