Great news to begin the year. Wonder whose album will be released first, JPJ's or Plant's?

Nice!

Thanks for the info.

Although the Minibus Pimps album will be "interesting and experimental" it also wont be a musical piece

that appeals to the masses or even to the few...similar to Jimmy's "Lucifer Rising" piece of work. A curiosity

and worth a listen or two but probably will end up on the shelf collecting dust...

IMO, this is the main difference between Robert Plant and John Paul Jones'post-Zeppelin musical endeavors. Plant explores different styles and genres but at the end of the day, his output is more commercial. He's a mainstream artist albeit one with a restless, independent streak. In contrast a lot of JPJ's work has been experimental. He's far too experienced and savvy to think any of it would sell much. He just didn't care. His participation in that mandolin workshop was along the same line; something he did just for the experience.
