Honeydrippers, The

When this was released originally, it was at the height of Robert Plant solo mania, as I recall. His second solo album was seriously hot, and then this album of covers was released. Not only were the songs good, but it got extra attention as (one of) the guitarists on the album was Jimmy Page. Since it was not intended to be a long running band as such, I guess they felt that was the time for a reunion of Plant/Page on a record.

Anyway, this is surprisingly good. Despite its short length, it packs a punch. It's pretty darned solid, and if you're a Led Zeppelin fan, why have you not bought this? You should check it out. Nice small little "breath of fresh air" kind of record. I liked it a lot in 1984, and I still like it in 2007.

This was a 2007 remaster of the original, and added a live version of Rockin' At Midnight.
