After years of trying to separate himself from his
legendary status as Led Zeppelin's frontman, Robert Plant
finally reconciles with his past on Now & Zen. He borrows
a few Zeppelin riffs, and even enlists Jimmy Page to play
guitar on his hit "Tall Cool One." This album is also
notable in that it marks his first collaboration with
keyboardist Phil Johnstone, who would continue to play and
write with Plant on subsequent albums. Musically, the
album relies on standard rock arrangements except that the
vocals and drums are at the forefront and keyboards
instead of guitars are used to fill out the sound.
Although most of the album is comprised of mid-tempo songs
aimed at rock radio, Plant includes the lovely ballad
"Ship of Fools," which demonstrates that he is more than
capable of vocal subtlety. Plant, who often uses
mysterious (and mystical) lyrics, writes some of his most
direct songs, and the way in which the lyrics complement
the melodic arrangements are partially responsible for the
commercial success of Now & Zen. This is Robert Plant's
best solo album, and a must-own for fans of Led Zeppelin.
This is the remastered version with the bonus material!
