In the video below you can watch an incredible performance  of Robert Plant singing the Zeppelin ' trademark' song Rock n Roll in a bluesy version, with Imelda May at 'Later with Jools Holland'.

Led Zeppelin, like many of the British bands that made their way in the 1960s, were heavily influenced by blues music that came from overseas.

The first two albums of the group formed by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones were inspired by the listening of the bluesmen Muddy Waters and Skip James. In addition to the bluesy sounds, Led Zeppelin for their rock also included elements related to British, Celtic and American folk in their music. (Rockol)

The band's frontman, Robert Plant, has always been a huge blues fan.

Robert Plant admitted the obvious influence of the American blues on the British music scene, including himself, and said he still listens to the blues, especially later in the morning. According to the 73-year-old British musician, it's a great way to start the day and Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Match Box Blues" is one of his favorites.

 

These are the words used by Robert Plant in the course of a 2017 interview with Charlie Rose: “There is a direct line. Everyone I spoke to from the British music scene, there was a direct line from wherever they were in London or Liverpool to the blues in America. Magnificent. For me it is still like this every morning, to start the day. There's a guy named Blind Lemon Jefferson from Texas. He has a song called "Match Box Blues" which Carl Perkins borrowed and then the Beatles too. It's one of the most amazing pieces to sing and play on the guitar ”.

How do you follow Led Zeppelin? That’s a question that Robert Plant gamely engages with in his exclusive introduction to the Uncut's Ultimate Music Guide to his magnificent solo career. The Led Zeppelin he departed after the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980 was, he says, very different to the band he joined in 1968.

Robert Plant about retiring: “I Dont’ clock off at 73” Robert Plant, 73, is often asked about retirement as Plant put it, working as a musician is a “lifetime’s job,”

“People used to say to me, ‘Well, you must have done enough now?’” Plant said in a new interview with the Telegraph. “Enough of fucking what? ‘Enough to retire!’ So imagine the blessing to be 40 years further down the road, and I still don’t know enough to stop in any respect. There’s always something new to learn, somewhere new to take it. I love it.” (Left photo the Uncut special issue)

Robert Plant has taken a swipe at heritage acts, saying bands who stay together for "20, 30 or 50 years" are "hanging onto a life raft".

Plant never wanted to stay in the group decade after decade like other acts such as The Rolling Stones have because he has always yearned for new musical challenges and never wanted to look "sadly decrepit" on stage rehashing the glories of his youth.(Contactmusic)

And that's what he has enjoyed about working with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.

"Most musicians form a band, then they stay in the band until it's over - 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, whatever it is, and it starts to look sadly decrepit. It's like people hanging onto a life raft, or staying in a comfortable place.

"With us two, there's nothing written in blood. We were ready to do something new, and we knew how good it was before, so we can just join up again and see where we go. We've got nothing to lose."

Plant and Krauss have reunited for a second album, with 'Raise The Roof' - which comes 14 years after their first collaboration 'Raising Sand’ which won five Grammys - being released on November 19.

The 'Stairway To Heaven' singer believes he and Alison, 50, work so well together because they come from completely different musical backgrounds and worlds.

He said: "When I spent that first year or so with Alison, I was so amazed by America. I thought I'd got America down, but here was this whole world of country music I'd not encountered. That's the great thing about me and Alison - we're ably supported by a world of beautiful music that one of other of us doesn't know too much about."
