"29 Palms" is a rock song by English musician Robert Plant. It is included on his 1993 album Fate of Nations. The songwriting credited to Plant, Charlie Jones and Doug Boyle (two of the backing musicians on the recording), Chris Blackwell and Phil Johnstone.[1]
A review in Billboard magazine described "29 Palms" as "richly emotive rock with strong, spell-casting power" and notes Plant's vocal and the guitars and percussion.[2] Released as a single, it became his second most successful single on the UK Singles Chart, where it reached number 21.[3][4]
Lyrics
In a 1993 interview, Plant would not discuss the song, except to say "'29 Palms' was written on tour, the last time we were in California."[5] Twentynine Palms, California, is a small town located in the Mojave Desert about 140 miles east of Los Angeles. It is best known as one of the main entry ways to the Joshua Tree National Park and the site of one of the largest Marine Corps training bases in the US.
