Robert Plant shared a few insights with Rock writers attending a preview session for his new album in London Tuesday (6/1).  Band Of Joy, the group the former Led Zeppelin front man formed and recorded with in Nashville late last year, embarks on a brief US tour in a few weeks (story) even though the album is not scheduled to come out until September 14. While the album is a lot closer in tone to Plant\'s work with Alison Krauss than most of his album tracks fronting Zeppelin, Richard Smirke of Billboard suggests it does lean a little more toward Rock.  The excellent everything Zep site LedZeppelingNews.com did some digging into the origins of several of the tracks on the project.
