I originally made this playlist soon after I had taken my youngest daughter to see her first real concert – Robert Plant and the Band of Joy in The Woodlands. She loved it, and for me it was like Alt-Country Zeppelin.
There is one song from the Plant album Band of Joy and one from Patty Griffin – she was the band’s back up singer, lead singer on occasion. The rest is built around the vibe of those two songs. Enjoy.
