It's a sensitive delicate deal, dragging brand new songs out of the sky, trading ideas, accepting

some, storing others in the maybe later bag, moving on and along with hardly a plan.

During the Zephyers, I never imagined a full-scale album project without the other guys,

and even less the idea of new writing partners.

But then, since 1981, I've enjoyed many amazing, exciting musicians in the sharing, in the

writing, in production and engineering.

Men and women who encouraged and enlightened, introducing me to crazy curves I could never

have imagined.

For this podcast, I'm going to be picking out some songs from here and there along the

way, mixing constant shifts and sound and intention from across this long old time.

There's a story in all of them.

I'm Robert Plant and this is Digging Deep.

Hello my name is Matt Everett and I'm very pleased to be welcoming you back to another

episode of Digging Deep with Robert Plant.

This is the podcast where in every episode Robert himself enters his back catalogue and

picks a song that he's been involved with the recording of.

Now the reason I say involved with the recording is because some of these are world famous

songs which see Robert as he puts it at the front end of the ship as lead vocalist and

writer.

But also Digging Deep features collaborations or tracks where perhaps Robert's not as prominent

we're led by the songs here, that's all, wherever we go is where we go.

Likewise we talk about the music but also we just talk.
