29 Palms (song)

"29 Palms" is a rock song by English musician Robert Plant, released in April 1993 by Fontana and Es Paranza as the first single from his sixth album, Fate of Nations (1993).

The songwriting credited to Plant, Charlie Jones and Doug Boyle (two of the backing musicians on the recording), Chris Blackwell and Phil Johnstone.

[2] 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.

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.

[7] Billboard's single review notes "[v]ibrant electro-acoustic guitars" and "a percussive grandeur that includes skillful use of snare, tom-toms, and timpani".
