Robert Plant Inspired and Saved By The Blues

. (Classic Rock) Robert Plant says American blues music both saved and inspired him to become a singer. Plant performed an extensive UK tour in November and he currently has a few dates confirmed in March - including three Lollapalooza appearances in South America. He is also preparing to reveal more shows for 2015.

As Plant continues to promote the critically-acclaimed Lullaby and ... the Ceaseless Roar, he reveals the origins of his music career were not necessarily homegrown.

He tells USA Today: "My preoccupation as a very young early teenager was a music form that I might have missed. If I had missed it, I would never have sung. If I hadn't heard the Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, Little Richard music, I wouldn't have been drawn to music.

"Most of the music we were surrounded by in England was slush, without any commitment. I was born again and saved and reincarnated by American music." Read more here.
