In 1967, Plant’s career had already taken off when he formed the Band of Joy with , and created two partnerships; one with another progressive musician, and the second with harmonica player and co-vocalist Alexis Korner. It was Reid who recommended Plant to for a revised Yardbirds line-up, which eventually became Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin would excel as one of the most commercially successful and influential groups of the 1970s, however with the untimely death of Bonham in 1980, the group would disband. Since that time, Plant has put his wide-ranging fascination to good use on solo albums, with Page, and in recordings with bands like , Priory of Brion, and Strange Sensation.

His performances reflect his embrace of West Coast psychedelic rock, roots blues, African music and traditional folk. In 2007, he continued to expand his horizons releasing the album “”, a collaboration with . The album’s unlikely but magnificent blend earned innumerable critical raves as well as six Grammy® Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year (for “,” a Plant/Page ).

This time, Plant joined singer , singer-guitarist , multi-instrumentalist and vocalist , bassist-vocalist Byron House, and drummer-percussionist-vocalist in a twelve-date tour in 2010.
