    On Lullaby, the vocalist and songwriter certainly makes good on that declaration, his refreshing lack of desperation taking shape in a melting pot of Americana, new age and electronic music.

    It lacks the focused grace of his country experiments, but this much is true: It's Plant's hardest-rocking set in a decade.

He merges everything into little gems that you can inspect from any side to see (hear) them sparkle.
