The '80s found former singer starting over as a solo artist — and he quickly proved he wasn't interested in aping his old band's sound. In fact, by the middle of the decade, Plant had already repeatedly dashed the expectations of anyone expecting his albums to offer a Zeppelin redux. His first two solo efforts, 1982's and 1983's The Principle of Moments, both diverged strongly from the band's successful sonic template, and when he reunited with Zep guitarist for 1984's The Honeydrippers: Volume One EP, hopes of a crushing rock record were dashed with a set of '50s covers led by the syrupy Top Five hit '.' Although Plant would later admit to being a little disturbed by the way 'Sea of Love' overshadowed his other early post-Zeppelin singles, it definitely gave his profile an added boost in the months leading up to his next proper solo release, Shaken 'N' Stirred, which arrived in stores May 20, 1985.

Shaken 'n' Stirred is the third solo album by former Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant, released in 1985 on the Es Paranza label. It featured his second Mainstream.

'That song was good for me,' Plant shrugged in conversation with Dennis Hunt of the. 'It broke through to all the radio stations that wouldn't normally play a Robert Plant record. My music usually isn't accessible. I'll never be a real pop star, but that doesn't bother me.'

Plant's decision to forego a Honeydrippers follow-up in favor of a return to active solo duty offered added proof that he made his decisions based on what felt right creatively. As he went on to explain to Hunt, while that project had served its purpose as a fun detour, he soon found himself needing to move on. 'I just made up my mind one day that I couldn't sing Eddie Cochran songs forever. It was time for me to go back and start writing again. I had a lot of feelings and emotions I had to release somehow. Writing music is the way I release all that.'

With Shaken 'N' Stirred, Plant delivered arguably his least commercial effort to date. Working with an eclectic studio band that included keyboardist Jezz Woodroffe and guitarist Robbie Blunt as well as Little Feat drummer Richie Hayward, he entered the studio with an assortment of musical sketches that slowly took shape over an extended period of jamming that incorporated old-fashioned playing as well as the electronic instruments that were then in vogue. 'The songs didn’t exist,' Hayward told. 'We worked up the tracks, and Robert made up the lyrics and melodies and sang over them. Then we went in the studio and recorded it.. Robert was obsessed with being modern at that time, which was the mid-’80s. Cheat Codes For Lego City Undercover Ds here. Denon Dct-a100 Manual.

He wanted to do that, but he had a bunch of guys in the band who were my age and who grew up playing real instruments, so we were making a compromise to be modern for Robert.'

The album's six-month studio gestation proved somewhat ironic, given Plant's stated intention of putting together a record that would move him further away from Zeppelin's shadow while also shaking off the increasing technological burden placed on record-making in the '80s. While it probably wouldn't be fair to say Shaken 'N' Stirred sounds labored, subsequent efforts came a lot closer to the sound he described pursuing in interviews around the time of its release. 'The whole idea of this record is to get rid of my preoccupation with removing images from people's minds, and get down to making some instant music,' Plant told Rolling Stone. 'The theme, if any, is getting out and being more immediate, both in intention and expression.' Still, Shaken 'N' Stirred proved another successful outing for Plant, garnering positive if not glowing reviews and peaking at a respectable No. 20 on the albums chart while spinning off a Top 40 pop single (and No. 1 rock hit) with 'Little by Little.'
