Robert Plant – Higher Rock: A Robert Plant Compilation (2025)
Review:
A previously unheard Robert Plant song titled “47 Roses” was released on the CD that accompanies Mojo Magazine’s October 2025 issue. The cover story for the magazine’s 383rd issue is an interview with Plant published ahead of the release of his new album Saving Grace on September 26. In the interview, Plant “regales us with classic tales and forthright views”, Mojo wrote in its announcement of the new issue. The issue’s accompanying CD, titled Higher Rock, is a compilation of tracks from Plant’s solo career. It contains “47 Roses”, which seems to have been recorded for a planned sequel to Plant’s 2010 album Band of Joy. The magazine reports that the track was “written with Buddy Miller and Marco Giovino”, according to Tight But Loose editor Dave Lewis. “It’s basically about the bridge that crosses the Mississippi between Lula, Mississippi, birthplace of Son House, and West Helena, Arkansas, where Sonny Boy Williamson used to present the King Biscuit Flower Hour,” Plant explained in the magazine issue. “About circumstances I was aware of in the middle of that time inspired by crossing that bridge.” The compilation CD contains two other Plant rarities. “The Blanket of Night” is an Elbow cover that was previously only available on the 2016 British Red Cross charity album The Long Road. And “Too Much Alike” was previously only available on Plant’s 2020 compilation album Digging Deep: Subterranea. — ledzepnews.com
