Robert Plant spoke with WFUV's Paul Cavalconte for FUV Live. Their conversation will air tonight and can be heard now at wfuv.org. Plant's new album, Carry Fire, has been named WFUV's New Dig. "Carry Fire is a vibrant collection of songs that speaks powerfully to this era, its politics, and its contradictions," says WFUV's Darren DeVivo. "It's also a testament to Plant's artistry; over the past decade, he's released some of the strongest albums of his solo career. Few musicians have been able to constantly transform themselves quite like Plant, with such ease, grace and inspiration."

Robert Plant, during his recent trip to New York City to mark the release of his new album, Carry Fire, spoke with WFUV's Paul Cavalconte about the album for FUV Live. "To say that Robert Plant has re-invented himself does his lifelong musical curiosity and eclecticism a disservice," says Cavalconte. "Robert’s unique voice and musical sensibility ... has always been set on a firm course of music discovery." Their conversation will be broadcast on the station, 90.7FM in New York City, tonight at 8pm ET and can be heard now at wfuv.org.

Carry Fire, has also been named WFUV's New Dig—the station's Album of the Week—this week.

"The music on Carry Fire, which again partners Plant with his band, the Sensational Shape Shifters, draws its strength from an inner flame and not from sheer volume: Plant sings in a mannered, soft voice, as if sharing ancient words of wisdom. His music is an ethereal sojourn through a mysterious night, where a star-filled sky evokes a romantic setting," says WFUV's Darren DeVivo. "Carry Fire is a vibrant collection of songs that speaks powerfully to this era, its politics, and its contradictions. It's also a testament to Plant's artistry; over the past decade, he's released some of the strongest albums of his solo career. Few musicians have been able to constantly transform themselves quite like Plant, with such ease, grace and inspiration."

    The Library of Congress has acquired the collection of manuscripts, instruments, costumes, video and audio recordings, and more from Kronos Quartet and its non-profit organization, Kronos Performing Arts Association. “It’s gratifying to know that Kronos’ legacy will be preserved in perpetuity alongside the manuscripts and other treasures of so many other influential musicians from the US and around the world," said KPAA Executive Director Janet Cowperthwaite. "We are perhaps even more excited to reflect upon all the musicians and scholars who will have access to these materials in years to come, informing their own work and carrying Kronos’ inspiration and influence into the future.” The Library also appointed Kronos founder, artistic director, and violinist David Harrington as the Kluge Chair in Modern Culture and inducted Kronos’ 1992 album Pieces of Africa into the National Recording Registry.
