Summary
So here are. We’ve reached the end of another series of Digging Deep with Robert Plant. It’s been a collection of conversations partially defined by the unprecedented times we’ve been living in (and this episode touches on that) but, as always, some amazing music. We end the series with a cover version that Robert and Alison Krauss made their own on their world-conquering Raising Sand album. It’s the perfect way to end for now.

| 0:58.5 | There's a story in all of them. |
| 1:01.8 | I'm Robert Plant and this is Digging Deep. |
| 1:07.9 | Hello and welcome to this, the final episode of this current season of the Digging Deep |
| 1:12.3 | podcast with Robert Plant and we have a fine, fine song to finish with. |
| 1:17.4 | The song was originally written by Jean Clark of the Birds and first released by Jean |

| 1:36.4 | Burnett. |
| 1:37.4 | It's a moment of calm, dreamlike beauty on a brilliant album and seems like a fitting place |
| 1:43.5 | to end the series. |
| 1:44.5 | But there's quite a lot to cover before we say goodnight, not least the question of whether |
