Lindsey Millar writing for the Arkansas Times had a few questions for Robert Plant in advance of the upcoming Band of Joy show there. Robert talked about the album, the tour, and music in general. Robert commented on his “jumping around a lot stylistically”:

“Every dog has his day, and my day is a different color quite regularly. My plan is to stimulate, so that I can sing with true meaning. I can’t bluff it. To be a singer and just to repeat everything that he is and has been, I’d be a hell of a one trick pony, so I can’t do that.”
