Includes liner notes by Robert Plant.This two-disc import contains digitally remastered sound and bonus videos for the songs "Darkness Darkness" and "Calling to You."Despite Robert Plant's fame as Led Zeppelin's frontman, this Englishman has enjoyed a prolific solo career that's kept him moving forward, rather than clutching at the straws of nostalgia. SIXTY SIX TO TIMBUKTU, Plant's first solo anthology, spans nearly 40 years of his non-Zep music. Disc One features an overview of eight Plant albums (minus his debut, PICTURES AT ELEVEN). The material presented here reflects the West Midlands native's restless musical nature, which found him straying far from the heavy rock of his former band. Instead, the solo path found him delving into synth-drenched 1980s dance music (the previously unreleased "Upside Down"), atmospheric modern rock ("Big Log"), and flirtations with cut-and-paste sampling "Tall Cool One."TIMBUKTU is also up-front about Plant's influences, ranging from Tim Hardin ("If I Were a Carpenter") and Tim Buckley ("Song to the Siren") to Phil Phillips and the Twilights ("Sea of Love"). Disc Two is even more intriguing, as it focuses on both Plant's pre-Zep work with long-forgotten outfits like Listen and Band of Joy, along with songs that appeared on tribute albums to Rainer Ptacek, Elvis Presley, and Skip Spence.
Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - SIXTY SIX makes a convincing case that Plant's artistry didn't end with Led Zeppelin....[T]he set finds Plant's expressive voice in fine form...Q (1/04, p.142) - 3 stars out of 5 - [I]t's on the patently Zeppelin-influenced 'Ship Of Fools' and 'Calling To You' that he really plays to his strengths.Mojo (12/03, p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 - [A] crash-course in what it takes to become a golden god.
