Robert Plant Mighty Rearranger

It's difficult for me to wrap my head around critiquing an artist's recent work based on how his voice sounds in his late fifties compared to when he was 20.

Taken in the context of the qualities of his voice today (some of which are more interesting than the voice of a young man), and how he utilizes his voice today, Plant's "Mighty Re-Arranger" is a strong and enjoyable body of work.

BTW, I agree with Audiofeil on the lasting ability of Daltry and Hagar. Daltrey especially seems like a freak of nature they way he can still bring it after all these years.

my comment on his voice on mighty rearranger was more along the lines of his warbling stylization than a shot voice - true Plant lost his ultra high range in mid 72 evident on many bootlegs of the era, who wouldn't with all that screaming

but his latest work would have came off a lot better had he sang it straight instead of the vocal postering

I have laways windered how much smoking had hurt his voice over the years.

I've purchased the last two solo Plant efforts and to be quite honest - they haven't moved me. As one astute observer has already stated - the vocals are overblown. Moreover I find the music to be uninspired. This coming from a huge Zeppelin fan.
