History
Early in 2001 Plant disbanded his band "Priory of Brion" and formed another new band. When the band first played showed they were billed as "Robert Plant and his Strange Sensations", but when they hit the states, they were called Strange "Sensation".
In 2002 Dreamland was released, an album of blues and rock covers with the original Strange Sensation lineup, but credited as a Plant solo album.
The following release was 2003's Sixty Six to Timbuktu, a compilation that included his earliest solo recordings for CBS Records as a teenager in 1966, to his newest song, "Win My Train Fare Home (If I'm Lucky)", performed at Mali's Festival of the Desert with Justin Adams.
On 25 April 2005 was released Mighty ReArranger, the first album credited to Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation, a blend of world and Western music influences, with mystical, oblique and somewhat cynical references to religion and destiny.
On 16 September 2005, the band performed Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin songs at Soundstage Studios in Chicago, and the performance was broadcast in the 2006–2007 season of the PBS series Soundstage. This has also been released on DVD as Soundstage: Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation.
