Robert Plant has shared Charlie Patton Highway (Turn It Up - Part 1).
It's one of three previously unreleased tracks that will feature on his 'Digging Deep' anthology, due out on October 2 via his own label Es Paranza.
“I spent time in the hill country of north Mississippi around Como, dropping back to Clarksdale, the incredible center of black music talent over the years,” said Plant. “I weaved my car through the Delta back roads, listening to the remarkable protestations of Mississippi AM radio. I was looking at my world and my times from this unfamiliar place and found myself exposed to a nightmare world of half-truths.”
The song fuses elements of blues and rock to accompany Plant's soulful vocals, which effortlessly ricochet between reserved and free.
