The Mighty Rearranger (Remastered)

Product Details

If anything, Robert Plant‘s career as a solo artist appears to be improving with age. With Mighty Rearranger, he builds on the success of his previous album, 2002’s Dreamland, blending electronic experimentation with world music eclecticism. On tracks like "Shine It All Around", "All the King’s Horses", "Tin Pan Alley" and "Freedom Fries" recall his past life as frontman for rock icons Led Zeppelin, taking cues from blues, rock and Eastern music. Of course, he’s continuing to mellow in his later years, and his voice can’t hit the heady heights it once did, but it’s still impressive and distinctive. And his band the Strange Sensation--in particular, bassist Billy Fuller and drummer Clive Deamer--continue to shine, even ! though they’ve been given the unenviable task of trying to fill the shoes once worn by Page, Bonham and Jones. Bits of the album may get a little repetitive towards the end, but Mighty Rearranger is still a fine showing by a living rock legend. --Ted Kord
