Robert Plant retrospective Digging Deep released

Robert Plant

A Retrospective: 1966-2020

Overview:

Rock singer born 8/20/1948 in West Bromwich, England. With Band of Joy and, most famously, Led Zeppelin (1968-80) before going solo in 1982. He did a one-off EP with guitarist Jeff Beck and Led Zeppelin bandmate Jimmy Page as the Honeydrippers in 1984. He and Page reteamed in 1994 for a live album and then returned in 1998 with a studio album. Plant won a Grammy for Album of the Year for his 2007 release Raising Sand which paired him with bluegrass artist Alison Krauss.

“If one word sums up Robert Plant’s solo career it would be: contrary. Listening to any of his first three albums from the early ‘80s, you can almost imagine his record company paymasters in a state of escalating panic, as each LP he made sounded less and less like Led Zeppelin.” Q

“Plant was 20 when he joined Zeppelin and 32 when it ended (a ‘boy’ in modern rock years). It would have been an easy and commercially safe bet for him to spend the next three decades making music that sounded like a carbon copy of his old band’s.” Q

“Instead, Plant seemed stubbornly determined to distance himself from his musical past. The hirsute, self-proclaimed ‘Golden God’ once seen shimmying onstage in Led Zeppelin’s film The Song Remains the Same customized his image for the ‘80s. He cut his hair, donned a suit and stopped screaming. Perversely, by the middle of the decade, he’d begun inching back towards the sound – and look – of Led Zeppelin. And by the mid-‘90s, he was working once again with his Zeppelin partner-in-crime Jimmy Page.” Q

“Plant’s solo work has always found him on a tireless quest for something new. Here you’ll find records from a man frantically trying to erase hi history, others born out of a love-hate relationship with that history and more still inspired by his passion for ‘50s rock, folk, blues, psychedelia, world music…His 2007 career resurrection with Alison Krauss and his decision to step away from Led Zeppelin after their one-off reunion show that year is welcome evidence that Plant…remains as contrary as ever.” Q

About Sixty Six to Timbuktu:

“As it contains 35 tracks, it would be fairer to describe this as Robert Plant’s greatest hits and misses. Listeners get the best of every solo album up to and including 2002’s Dreamland, but the non-chronological running order also spotlights the schizophrenic nature of the music. At times, though, that’s part of the fun. One minute, Plant’s crooning through country bluesman Charlie Rich’s Philadelphia Baby, the next he sounds like he’s auditioning for New Order on Upside Down or singing some creepy trip-hop blues on Rude World. Listen out, too, for You’d Better Run, Plant’s 1966 recording debut with the group Listen, and demos from his pre-Zeppelin outfit, Band of Joy.” Q

Glenn Miller was born: March 1, 1904








Glenn Miller was born on March 1, 1904 in Clarinda, Iowa. He became one of the most beloved jazz and big band musicians of all time working as a trombonist, arranger, composer, and bandleader. He knew before he even graduated from high school in 1921 that he wanted to be a professional musician. He went to University of Colorado at Boulder in 1923, but eventually dropped out to pursue a musical career.

He got work as a trombonist with Ben Pollack, Red Nichols, Benny Goodman, & the Dorsey Brothers. He became the de facto leader of Ray Noble’s band in 1935 and did arrangements for Glen Gray and others before starting his own band in 1937. It failed, as did a 1938 succesor, but in 1939 Glenn developed his trademark reed sound (four saxophones and clarinet) and soared to the top.

Nine of his tunes appear on the DMDB’s list of the top 1000 songs of all time: “Moonlight Serenade” (1939), “In the Mood” (1939), “Tuxedo Junction” (1940), “Chattanooga Choo Choo” (1941), “ A String of Pearls” (1942), “Moonlight Cocktail” (1942), “Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else But Me” (1942), “I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo” (1942), and “That Old Black Magic” (1943). “Serenade”, “Mood”, and “Choo Choo” have all been named to the Grammy Hall of Fame.



Three Glenn Miller logged at least ten weeks at #1 on the Billboard album charts, ranking them amongst the Biggest #1 Albums in U.S. chart history: Glenn Miller and His Orchestra (1945), Plays Selections from the Film ‘The Glenn Miller Story’ (1954), and The Glenn Miller Story (1954).

At his band’s peak in September 1942, he enlisted in the Army Air Force and formed the war’s most famous service band. During travels to entertain the U.S. troops during World War II, his plane disappeared over the English Channel during bad weather. He was declared missing in action on December 15, 1944. Hollywood’s 1954 Glenn Miller Story further immortalized the music and the man.

Glenn Miller: Top 100 Songs

Glenn Miller

Top 100 Songs

Glenn Miller was born on this day in 1904 in Carinda, Iowa. The top 11 songs on this list are also in the DMDB list of the top 1000 songs of all time (see here). According to Joel Whitburn’s Pop Memories 1890-1954, Miller topped the chart 23 times (noted below by #1) and hit the top ten another fifty times. The bio of Miller from that book calls him the “leader of the most universally beloved of all big bands” and notes that Miller played trombone for the Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman, Red Nichols, and Ben Pollack before forming his own band in 1939. In September 1942, Miller enlisted in the Army Air Force. His plane was lost over the English channel on 12/15/1944.
