Robert Plant is celebrating the second season of his podcast, “Digging Deep with Robert Plant,” with the release of a limited edition 7’’ singles box set. Digging Deep includes 16 A-sides and rare B-sides spanning three decades, remastered versions available on vinyl for the first time. The eight-disc collection also features restored artwork from the original 7’’ releases, packaged in a bespoke hardback book. The set will be available worldwide via the classic rock legend’s own EsParanza label on December 13.
Digging Deep collects two songs from each of Plant’s eight acclaimed solo albums, highlighted by 10 iconic tracks which reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Rock Songs chart, including the #1 classics “Little By Little,” “Tall Cool One,” and “Hurting Kind.” The box set also includes a number of songs featured on the podcast, including “Big Log” and “Tin Pan Valley,” both of which are discussed at length in the program’s second season.

“Digging Deep with Robert Plant” has just begun its second season. Five additional new episodes will be rolled out in the coming weeks, culminating with the official release of Digging Deep.
From the September 30 announcement: Plant’s music is the result of a lifetime striding around the globe, from The Midlands to Morocco, from Nashville to North Wales, and the influences and friends collected along the way can be heard in his songs. “Digging Deep with Robert Plant” sees him delving into his back catalog to revisit tracks while also telling stories of inspiration, collaboration, and intervention. “Digging Deep with Robert Plant” is available from Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, with new episodes available every two weeks.
