Hear Robert Plant on Paul Weller’s New Track, ‘Clive’s Song’

Robert Plant has joined Paul Weller on a song from the latter’s upcoming covers album, Find El Dorado.

“Clive’s Song” was originally performed by Scottish folk singer Hamish Imlach on his 1971 album, Old Rarity. The song was written for Imlach by Clive Palmer, a founder of the Incredible String Band, a band cited by Plant as an influence on Led Zeppelin.

You can listen to Weller and Plant cover “Clive’s Song” below.

The track marks Plant’s first appearance on record since his 2021 collaboration album with Alison Krauss, Raise the Roof. Weller invited Plant to join him on the track because of the Zeppelin singer’s love of folk and blues songs.
