While Jimmy Page has been busy remastering the Led Zeppelin catalog, Robert Plant has been in the studio working on new material. Earlier this week, he released the first of those efforts, ‘Rainbow,’ which can be streamed at Ultimate Classic Rock. The track comes from ‘lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar,’ which will be released Sept. 9. After two albums that focused almost entirely on covers — the Grammy-winning collaboration with Alison Krauss, ”Raising Sand’ and 2010′s ‘Band of Joy’ — Plant wrote nine of the 11 songs for this new project with his band, the Sensational Space Shifters. The two exceptions are ‘Little Maggie,’ a traditional folk song, and ‘Poor Howard,’ an adaptation of Lead Belly’s ‘Po’ Howard.’ The last Plant record to feature his own compositions was 2005′s ‘Mighty ReArranger.’
