It's the second time this year Rivian has spun out a new company, after it created micromobility startup Also in March.

A match made in heaven. After a long two years, Colter Wall is officially back (and arguably better than ever). If you recall, 2025 seemingly got off to a rocky start for Wall as he cancelled his February and March shows to October due to “personal reasons” regarding his mental and physical health. With that being said, however, the Canadian singer/songwriter is clearly doing better and is back to kick off the latest chapter of his career with the release of his sixth studio album, Memories and Empties, which releases NEXT Friday, November 14th. View this post on Instagram The Canadian superstar would officially kick things off with the release of the project’s lead single, “1,800 Miles” back in September. Taking aim at the Nashville machine, Wall held back zero punches with the release of the classic-sounding track. In the incredibly biting chorus, he points out that Nashville is filled with nothing more than flashing lights and rhinestone clothes, with the music being completely devoid of any fiddle and steel. Simply put, it was clear that the “Sleeping on the Blacktop” singer was out to prove he didn’t lose his edge over the past few years. Wall would then follow “1,800” miles up with the final two pre-released tracks, “Back to Me” and “The Longer You Hold On.” Appearing on two opposite sides of the love song spectrum, “Back to Me” finds Wall delivering a heartfelt ode to marriage while “The Longer You Hold On” provides a realistic view on a marriage lost to apathy on the Western-inspired heartbreaker. Given that Memories and Empties releases in just 10 days, Wall has decided to team up with none other than The Littlest Honky Tonk for a killer live performance of “The Longer You Hold On.” In the Instagram post announcing the collaboration, TLHT would sing Wall’s praises, proclaiming that he resuscitating the “nearly dead” Country & Western genre (a correct assessment I might add) in the caption. “We met up with Saskatchewan’s finest Colter Wall & his incredible band when they rolled through Calgary a few weeks back. Colter is true blue – when he’s not resuscitating the nearly dead country & western genre he’s chasing cattle on the Saskatchewan range. Colter has dedicated his time to a life spent living and his music is a reflection of that authenticity.  View this post on Instagram If you’re not familiar with The Littlest Honky Tonk, it is the world’s only travelling country and western museum and live music venue. Born from the vision of Albertan songwriter, Boots Graham, and his vintage clothing dealer wife, Laura Graham, the married duo took a 1970s horse trailer and transformed it completely to become both a stage for artists to perform while simultaneously being a museum filled with artifacts from dive bars and honky tonks around the country. Since launching in 2024, TLHT has hosted the likes of Canadian powerhouse and hot up-and-comer, Noeline Hoffmann, as well as the likes of Brennen Leigh, Sterling Drake and more. With that being said, however, they got their biggest viral moment when they teamed up with Post Malone earlier in the year to perform “Two Hearts” and “Ain’t How It Ends” off of his highly-successful country debut, F-1 Trillion. As for Wall’s performance of “The Longer You Hold On,” it’s nothing short of pure country gold. As we all know, the “Kate McCannon” singer is one of the few true honky tonkers out in the genre today, and it simply pairs beautifully with the aesthetics captured by The Littlest Honky Tonk. In many ways, it feels as if Wall and his music is simply built to exist in this type of setting. Undeniably rustic in setting and incredibly Western in the song’s production, everything about this live performance just screams Colter Wall. It’s simply that good.

Keith Richards has been working for the past six decades alongside Mick Jagger, one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time. Together, they form the classic songwriting partnership between a guitarist and a vocalist, a common dynamic in Rock and Roll. The Rolling Stones were among the leading bands of the British Invasion, which conquered the world with its music in the 1960s. A few years later, a second wave of British groups would continue to spark musical revolutions, one of them being Led Zeppelin, whose powerful songwriting duo of Page and Plant became legendary. Over the decades, Richards has shared his opinions on many bands, including Led Zeppelin and their frontman, Robert Plant. What is Keith Richards' opinion on Robert Plant Keith Richards admires the members of Led Zeppelin as musicians, but not as a band. When he spoke about Robert Plant, he didn’t have many nice things to say. Back in 1969, in an interview with Rolling Stone, he mentioned that the singer’s voice was starting to get on his nerves. "Led Zeppelin? “I played their album quite a few times when I first got it. But then the guy’s voice started to get on my nerves. I don’t know why; maybe he’s a little too acrobatic. But Jimmy Paige is a great guitar player, and a very respected one,” Keith Richards said. A couple of decades later, the musician said that Led Zeppelin’s sound was hollow and revealed that he preferred Plant's solo career. “I love Jimmy Page, but as a band, no, with John Bonham thundering down the highway in an uncontrolled 18-wheeler. He had cornered the market there. Jimmy is a brilliant player. But I always felt there was something a little hollow about it, you know? I heard that (Plant and Alison Krauss album 'Raising Sand' - 2007) and thought, ‘Finally, he’s getting his chops!’” Keith Richards said. Keith Richards also said Robert Plant was "exuberant" Keith also described Plant as “exuberant” when talking about Led Zeppelin in a video answering questions from fans on his website. “As a band I thought they never took off musically. At the same time Jimmy Page is one of the best guitar players ever known and (they had) a hell of a powerhouse drummer (John Bonham). I think is kind of heavy-handed, myself, but that’s where the 'Led' comes in." "But at the same time Plant is exuberant, Robert is exuberant enough to be an LV (Lead Vocalist). Although I think he is very much in that English mood of Elvis, Roger Daltrey, there was the fringes and blah, blah, blah, and the microphone. (He also recalls) Rod Stewart and even Mick Jagger. (There were) scenes that copy each other in a bit, but to me Led Zeppelin is Jimmy Page. You know, you wanna cut the story short: Jimmy Page, shy boy.” Robert Plant is a fan of The Rolling Stones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqF3J8DpEb4&list=RDKqF3J8DpEb4&start_radio=1&pp=ygUkbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGNvbW11bmljYXRpb24gYnJlYWtkb3duoAcB Like most Rock and Roll artists of his generation, Robert Plant is a fan of The Rolling Stones and was inspired by them while growing up. Especially because, like Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, he has always been a major admirer of American Blues music. He had the chance to see The Stones playing in the 60s and told BBC in 2021 that the show was a life-changing moment. “I did actually see the Stones. They did a theater tour with Bo Diddley and Little Richard". "It was the Rolling Stones’ first-ever package tour. It was really an eye-opener.We were all leaning towards that music. But nobody really had it down. I think in those days the Stones were bringing the stone down the mountain. So that was really special,” Robert Plant said. The vocalist also revealed over the years some of his favorite songs by the band, like "Come On", their version of the Chuck Berry track. Being a guest on the BBC Radio 6 show “6 Music’s Festive Takeover” in 2021, Plant chose "Street Fighting Man" as one of his favorites. “There is so much to be said about this band. (Also) about the politics of the time in the late 60s, early 70s and how great that The Rolling Stones‘ Jagger and Richards were putting together songs that were really quite vital absolutely and are in many ways timeless.” Robert Plant continued: “This track ‘Street Fighting Man’ from ‘Beggars Banquet’ is just incredible. And of course, many stations banned the record because they said it was subversive. There is a great comment from the band that said: ‘of course it’s subversive. It’s stupid to think that you can start a revolution with a record. I wish you could”, Robert Plant said (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage). Although Plant didn't respond to Keith Richards' criticism of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page commented on it when asked by Classic Rock in 2015. “Keith can say what he wants. He’s Keith Richards. I think he’s done some amazing work. I respect his playing. And he has a solo album out. But if I was promoting a new album, would I be more caustic? The answer is… no. I’m not sure what he means by calling Led Zeppelin hollow. I think he’s got his tongue in his cheek. What we did was really cool,” Jimmy Page said. They have been friends during their careers and Page already played in some Rolling Stones songs like "Scarlet" and "One Hit (To the Body)". Both bands are among the best-selling of all time. Led Zeppelin sold an estimated 200 to 300 million records and The Rolling Stones around 250 million.The post Keith Richards’ opinion on Robert Plant appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
