As previously reported here, Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant has lent his incomparable vocal chords to the forthcoming album by UK indie rockers Primal Scream.

Recent rumors have had Robert Plant doing everything from touring with Led Zeppelin to releasing a pair of new studio albums, but it sounds like his plans for the immediate future are a lot more mundane.

It seems Robert Plant feels right at home in Mississippi Delta. The one time Led Zeppelin frontman has a new band, the Sensational Space Shifters, who made their US debut by headlining the 25th annual Sunflower Blues Festival on Aug. 11.

Jeff Beck and Robert Plant have reportedly discussed working together on a musical project of unknown shape and size. It would certainly be a case of legend partnering with legend, if it does indeed happen.

Robert Plant's musical career has been one of unexpected turns and uneven critical response—the subject of his interview in this week's Rolling Stone. Here are some highlights from the musician's diverse tenure in the rock limelight, from his riotous Led Zeppelin years, to his more recent (and more mellowed) collaborations with artists like Alison Krauss and Sharon Corr...
