Kashmir - Jimmy Page & Robert Plant

An old time Zep fan who never dreamed of hearing anything new from these guys worth anything, I was overjoyed when not only they were to play live and record again, it was to be largely acoustic renderings of their more expressive masterpieces. Not everybody likes this album's dive into eastern instrumentation and arrangements, but my god this is beautiful! Page's wife visits upon the songs a lovely veneer and his own afflicted vocal stylings are a welcome expansion of the pallet. Seeing them perform this in front of a stunned MTV un-plugged crowd was mind blowing.
