Robert Plant ‘Band of Joy’ Album Review

‘Band of Joy’ is an absolute delight – a revelation that grows with repeated listening.

The legendary 1973 album from Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks was cancelled by Polydor in 1978 – never to be digitized, never to be streamed.

Long out of print, this classic album Spirit in the Sky with its genre-bending sonic ingenuity returns to captivate new listeners.

Moody, lush, enticingly slow and highly evocative, this may well be the most romantic album ever made.

The Memphis horns, the superb backup singers, and Dusty Springfield’s heartfelt approach make this an essential album.

His gorgeous saxophone tones are fully on display in Kim Waters’ upcoming release, aptly titled Time 2 Groove.
