"Silver Rider", by Robert Plant. And speaking of things that remind me of Ed Kuepper, there's this. Again, we are talking here of long, resonant, ringing guitar notes, teasing at a melody without ever quite spelling it out. (I have recently been expanding the Ed Kuepper Shrine at our house, so I may be more sensitive to comparisons than usual. Nevertheless, at moments like this I am inclined to think that Kuepper is as much a part of the guitar pantheon as Fahey, Thompson, Ribot and Page. Or should be.)
The new album, "Band of Joy", is the only Robert Plant I have heard that is not Led Zeppelin. And I have to say it isn't half bad. He even gets in a little of the ol' Zep yelp towards the end. Happy days.
