Video: Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy – Gallows Pole
There’s no denying that Robert Plant will always be best known as the oft-shirtless singer for Led Zeppelin. In recent years though, Plant has turned his attention from bombastic arena-sized rock to the more subtle sounds of American roots music, first pairing with Alison Krauss, and more recently assembling an impressive group of roots musicians – Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller, Darrell Scott, Byron House and Marco Giovino – to form The Band Of Joy. On July 10, Plant & The Band Of Joy’s February 9, 2011 show from the Nashville War Memorial will be released on DVD as Live From The Artists Den.
The sixteen song set features a healthy dose of rearranged Zeppelin classics, mixed with material from Plant’s last two Americana-tinged albums, and handful of traditional folk songs. Let’s check it out the band’s haunting, psychedelic-tinged take on Zep’s Gallows Pole…
