After a long week of playing "guerrilla parking space capture" because of all the students returning to campus, I could do with a "Tall Cool One" tonight. And look! Robert Plant is here to oblige with his greatest post-Zeppelin song, period. Granted, he does invoke his glory days with that guitar riff at the end, "Hey Hey Mama!" and a Jimmy Page cameo, but still, Plant rocks the house like nobody's business, and the song would still rule even without those flourishes. Come to think of it, his entire "Now and Zen" album is exceptionally strong start to finish, but this song stands head and shoulders above the rest. I just wish he hadn't sold out and let Coke use it for a cheesy commercial. Oh well.
