Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant wants to record with Jack White

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Robert Plant would like to record with Jack White.

The 66-year-old former Led Zeppelin frontman said as much in a Facebook forum Tuesday. Plant expressed his admiration for the 39-year-old musician, and told fans he would be "happy" to work with White.

"I love Jack White's buccaneer spirit, and the way he dodges through the musical horizons," he lauded. "I'd be happy to make a single with him."

"I'd like to do a track called 'Love Me,' which was originally recorded by The Phantom," he elaborated. "In fact, I'm going to Nashville on Sunday and can do it on Monday morning! I've got lunch with Alison Krauss at 2 p.m. and cocktails with Patty Griffin at 8 p.m."

White will be in Maryland on Monday to perform at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia. The former White Stripes frontman released his second solo album, Lazaretto, in June, and is on tour to promote the record. Lazaretto debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and received largely positive reviews from critics.

Plant has released 10 solo studio albums since Led Zeppelin broke up in 1980. The singer's latest record, Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, debuted September 9, and he and the Sensational Space Shifters will kick off a new tour September 25.
