Cons: I wish there were a few more rarities included but maybe those will be forthcoming
Awesome album! Too bad some of these great unreleased songs have been under wraps for so long. It is now hoped that one day the complete '66 album and all the Band of Joy stuff will one day be released. So far, so good. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Pro Reviews: Sixty Six To Timbuktu
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Sixty Six to Timbuktu has to be the icing on the cake for Robert Plant. After Led Zeppelin issued its second live album as well as a spectacular DVD in 2003, his career retrospective outside of the band is the new archetype for how they should be compiled. Containing two discs and 35 cuts, the set is divided with distinction. Disc one contains 16 tracks that cover Plant's postZep recording career via cuts from his eight solo albums. Along with the obvious weight of his former band's presence on cuts like "Tall Cool One," "Promised Land," and "Tie Dye on the Highway," there is also the flowering of the influence that Moroccan music in particular and Eastern music in general would have on him in readings of Tim Hardin's "If I Were a Carpenter," Jesse Colin Young's "Darkness, Darkness," and his own "29 Palms." There is also a healthy interest in technology being opened up on cuts from Pictures at Eleven and Now Zen. The sequencing is creative, and the way one track seemingly foreshadows another is rather uncanny. But it is on disc two where the real treasures lie, and they are treasures. Of the 19 selections included, five are preLed Zeppelin. And these are no mere deaddog files. Plant was revealing himself to be a jackofallsubgenres master: he drops a burning rendition of the Young Rascals' "You'd Better Run" circa 1966, and a wailing version of Billy Roberts' "Hey Joe" (recorded in 1967 and rivaling the emotional wallop of Jimi Hendrix's version recorded that same year). There's also the protoblues moan and groan of "Operator" with British blues god Alexis Korner from 1968, which foreshadows the following year when he would join Zep. But Plant was not all raw raunch roll. On Stephen Stills' "For What It's Worth," he lays out a paisley hippie sincerity that is downright stirring. And on "Our Song," he takes the example of crooners like Dion and sings a love song, so pure and true it might have come from screen rushes of American Graffiti. These tracks are worth their weight in gold for the integrity in their performances and their rough edges. Led Zeppelin is a smorgasbord of exploratory music from a very restless and confident Plant. Here are outtakes, oneoffs, loose ends, and covers that add up to 70 minutes of awesome music. There's the intense Zep soundlike skronk of "Road to the Sun," with Phil Collins on drums and Robbie Blunt doing his best Jimmy Page, and the shuffling rockabilly of Charlie Rich's "Philadelphia Baby," with Dave Edmunds, recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis for the Porky's Revenge soundtrack. On the roots tip there's also Plant's contribution of "Let's Have a Party" to The Last Temptation of Elvis compilation, as well as cuts he contributed to the Rainer, Skip Spence, and Arthur Alexander tribute albums. There are Bsides such as "Naked if I Want To" from the U.S. release of "Calling to You," and "Hey Jayne," a limited bonus flip on the U.K. issue of the "I Believe" single from Fate of Nations, as well as a collaboration with the AfroCelt Sound System on "Life Begin Again." This indulgence of modern technology began earlier than the 1990s, however, as the inclusion of Robin George's protoelectro "Red for Danger" attests the track is previously unreleased. And this is only a smattering. There are cuts from his stint with the Jools Holland big band, the Wayne's World soundtrack, and many, many others. Once again, Plant's manner of sequencing is full of a crazy wisdom that is as witty as it is aesthetically sound. Finally, something has to be said about Plant's wonderfully informative, cocky, and delightfully humorous liner notes. Should he ever decide to give up music, he might become the next Lester Bangs. It all adds up to one hell of a package that provides the best surprise of the season and is a real candidate for reissue of the year. - Thom Jurek, All Music Guide |
