I like that too and I like the album he did with Frau Krauss, lame adult contemporary as it might be. And of course Page could do worthwhile things if he got his butt of his Led Zep rock god throne. The Coverdale Page album for all Led Zep mannerisms had its moments, so did the Clarksdale album with Plant (I saw them on tour, it was a bit too Zeppish or me already) and I'm one of the few people who think that you could get a decent album out of the material of the two The Firm releases.
Page is an interesting and even daring acoustic guitarist, all those strange stringed instruments and wild tunings he does, why we haven't seen his guitar Tubular Bells on acoustic instruments is beyond me. It would sell shitloads too. It almost seems that without Plant in the rehearsal room he can't really write, he needs him as his foil.
