”He simply refuses to settle. I discovered that for myself the first time I met Robert. He was playing me an album he’d just finished, “Lullaby and The Ceaseless Roar.” His first record in four years. I couldn’t wait to hear it.
But Robert wouldn’t let me press play until the conditions were just right. He even had us close all the curtains.
Here was someone who cared deeply about sound, about atmosphere, about being fully present in the moment. Someone who lives by the simple truth that being great – and staying great – means you never stop caring, never stop striving.
When I’m playing someone new music, I often think about that moment. And the reverence Robert has for music and its power to move and connect us.”
~ Max Lousada, Warner Music Global CEO of Recorded Music (presenting Robert Plant with Outstanding Achievement award at 2018 Silver Clef Ceremony)
