MESA, Ariz. (AP) -- Robert Plant is donating proceeds from sales of a four-song CD to an Arizona-based charitable organization that aids people in remote regions of Ethiopia, Mali and Niger.

The former Led Zeppelin frontman has made donations to the group TurtleWill before, but nothing as high profile as his latest gesture.

"It's all about, I think, increasing awareness, breaking away from the usual sort of news reel approach to human disasters, if you like; illuminating and exposing these conditions from a different angle," Plant told the East Valley Tribune.

The four-song CD by Plant's new band, Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation, features performances of "Shine It All Around," "Freedom Fries," "Tin Pan Valley" and "When the Levee Breaks."

I for one, will be there buying the CD. Anything by Robert Plant and especially to help out a good cause!
