Exquisite album by living legend Robert Plant, backed by "The Sensational Space Shifters" (a lovely folk combo), including nice guest appearances, and ethnic instrumental touches, as well.

The opener, "The May Queen", comes like a newly revealed complement to the iconic "Stairway To Heaven" (Led Zeppelin IV, 1971) since it quotes the lyrics of this anthemic song.

As a moment of gorgeous melody, well worthy of Plant's unique voice, let's mention "Season's Song".

One may call for a (not heavier but) more rock'n'blues oriented spot, and it's there, in fact, under the name "Carving Up the World Again... A Wall and Not a Fence".

There are plenty of excellent musicianship along these eleven tracks, I just want to reserve the final words for the title track, with modal oriental flavour, and to "Bluebirds Over the Mountain", coloured with the outstanding contralto of Chrissie Hynde.
