iPod Essentials #19: "Big Log"--Robert Plant

Sorry for the delay in blogging. My rotator cuff injury has been very slow in healing.

In honor of my trip last week to the Southwest, I dedicate Robert Plant's "Big Log" to the barren landscape of Arizona, with its cacti, yuccas, and abundance of dust. This song reminds me of such sparseness in one's physical as well as emotional landscape. Cool video, too--it features an empty pool at an abandoned hotel.

Plant's best vocals post Zeppelin.
