Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a distinct departure from the synthesized pop of his 1980s solo work, the former Led Zeppelin frontman embraces a more organic, world-music-influenced approach on his sixth solo album. Incorporating prominent acoustic instrumentation and Celtic folk elements, the deeply reflective record serves as a sonic precursor to his impending reunion with Jimmy Page.
