...cheerful, Oxford-educated Wilson. Perhaps the best known and most open minded of the shroud apologists, Wilson, 57, has penned three shroud books and spent innumerable hours researching the relic. He was first captivated by a photograph of the image at age 15. "It just didn't seem like a work of art to me; it whetted my interest and rocked my agnosticism." He eventually converted to Catholicism and penned what is probably the most stirring hypothetical description ever of the shroud's possible origin.

It's nothing verbal, nothing too overt--nonetheless, when you meet them, there always seems to be a smile playing about their lips as if they were both in on a secret joke. The pair's new CD, Walking into Clarksdale--their first full album of newly written collaborative material since Led Zeppelin first broke up in 1980--has a similar vibe. When you hear Plant's aching vocals paired once again with Page's tough...
