American blues in its roughest form, Robert Plant was possessed as a teenager in the English coal belt. “When I saw Sleepy John Estes and heard this voice, half pain, half beyond, I wanted to be able to sing that way too,” he said in 2006 Rolling Stone. And he did.
Even more: the unearthly howl, which he unleashed at Led Zeppelin, sounded like a cross between Bluesmann and Nordic God. It had never been as male as a woman sounding, and countless hard rock singers roared the vocal cords to reach the heights that had been placed in the cradle.
Robert plans and the mysterious depth of his voice
“His voice is like a picture,” says Sanges colleague Alison Krauss. “At the same time young and old and with this strange, mysterious depth.”
