If you're going to play with the rock 'n' roll icon, you've got to be ready to follow. "When you're working with Robert you can only rehearse so much and then it doesn't matter anymore because you have to have your eyes glued on him the entire night," guitarist Buddy Miller said in an interview with his tour bandmate, singer-songwriter and guitarist Patty Griffin. "No matter what the arrangement was, he's just all feel." "It's all spontaneous," Griffin said.

Plant might give a nod or a vocal cue and the band heads off in an unexpected direction. That might be the unifying theme for Plant's latest project, which he calls "an adventure." New album "Band of Joy" is out in September and he's on the road with a mostly unfamiliar cast of players who happen to have Nashville's deepest street cred.

Plant offered a generous helping of Zeppelin favorites on the tour's first two dates in Memphis, Tenn., and Little Rock. The concerts featured a song each for Miller and Griffin, and Plant has plans to include more songs by the band, which also includes multi-instrumentalist Darrell Scott, bassist Byron House and drummer Marco Giovino. He wants a revue feel for the tour, his first headlining performances since the "Raising Sand" tour wrapped 15 months ago. That partnership with Alison Krauss and producer T Bone Burnett netted six Grammys.
