Interesting.  Although, to be honest, Robert Plant hasn't done much in the 2000s that really appealed to me much.

Ha! I think Bruce doing any Led Zeppelin song would be a treat. "Going to California" could actually be really cool, and it still has that yelling section.

Would love to hear Plant's take on "Transcendental Meditation".

Good point. Ersel Hickey could have been stage name of 10 year old Robert Plant, the child prodigy who first  recorded it back in 1958, in which case it would be a re-recording, technically.

I initially thought this could be an original song with the same name.  I found the answer myself though:  http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/robert-plant-to-release-carry-fire-album-in-october-listen-to-the-may-queen-single/

Ah, there was that possibility too. Prefer the idea of a diminutive Plant though.

I'm very curious as to how this will sound.  It doesn't seem like the kind of material Plant usually covers.
