Former Led Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant has shared song “Charlie Patton Highway (Turn It Up – Part 1)” that was previously unreleased. According to a press release, the former Zepplin member is releasing a collection called Digging Deep. Plant also has his own podcast that shares the title of the collection he is releasing. This song is just the first of three previously unreleased songs.
Plant comments on the making of this project saying,“I spent time in the hill country of north Mississippi around Como, dropping back to Clarksdale, the incredible center of black music talent over the years,” said Plant. “I weaved my car through the Delta back roads, listening to the remarkable protestations of Mississippi AM radio. I was looking at my world and my times from this unfamiliar place and found myself exposed to a nightmare world of half-truths.”
Last year in May, it was announced that there would be a documentary released about Led Zeppelin. The documentary was directed by Bernard MacMahon who is no stranger to documentaries. The announcement of the documentary came after the success of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, a documentary film about the band Queen.
In March of this year, Led Zeppelin won a legal dispute over the copyright for arguably their most famous song, “Stairway To Heaven.” Back in 2016 a complaint, about the guitar intro of the song being taken from Spirit’s “Taurus,” filed by Michael Skidmore from 2014 was taken to trial. The court has officially ruled in favor of Led Zeppelin.
Digging Deep, out October 2, will include songs of the artist’s past solo career including songs that received Grammy nominations. Songs “Hurting Kind,” and “Shine It All Around” the first being a #1 rock hit, and the second earning him a Grammy nod will be featured on the collection. Digging Deep will also include features of famous artists such as Jimmy Page, Phil Collins and Patty Griffin.
The announcement of Digging Deep just came earlier this week on his podcast that has over 1.6 million streams according to the press release.
