I was so wrong about Robert Plant

When I was growing up in the 90s, the singers I were into were precise, aggressive and to my ears, melodic. (Cornell, Staley, Vedder, Hetfield) I didn’t really understand or relate to Robert Plant’s voice.

It felt meandery and always kinda ‘out in left field’ …Until I started to get into guitar, specifically Jimmy Page. It all changed for me when one of my guitar teachers made an interesting comparison…

…Robert Plant isn’t singing. He’s “playing his voice like it’s a guitar”. This changed everything for me both in how I listened to Robert Plant AND how I approached my own voice!
