3 stars 12-incher partially extracted from "Pictures at Eleven", debut solo album by Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant (also released in 1982). "Far Post" (which is not much more than a fine pop-song) was not included on the original release of that album, but Rhino Entertainment released a remastered edition, with this song as one of the bonus tracks, on 20 March 2007.

Where is the real meat, then? To my taste and ears, in "Moonlight In Samosa", a laid-back, latin-flavoured composition where (in addition to Plant's vocals) it shines also the exquisite acoustic guitar by Mr. Robbie Blunt.

"Burning Down One Side" is a rocker with the attitude one have learned to expect from Robert in such a circumstance. Nice electric guitar solo and zeppelinesque stop-and-gos by the band, too.
