| Robert Plant announces the release of Saving Grace: the first album featuring the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer's new band of distinguished players, which he calls "a song book for the lost and found." Arriving September 26 on Nonesuch Records, the genesis of Saving Grace began during a lockdown spent in "The Shire," when Plant's customary wandering was all but forbidden. While his recent adventures have centred around Nashville, having reunited with Alison Krauss for 2021's chart-topping, multi GRAMMY-nominated Raise The Roof, it was in the English countryside that Robert Plant connected closely to this diverse group of musicians, who through their own experiences had a shared leaning towards his much-loved corners of evocative song. Together, Plant and Saving Grace - vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown - have spent the past six years growing into a wide-ranging workshop of styles and personalities, weaving through time and circumstance with joy and abandon. Saving Grace breathes fresh life into a collection of centuries-old music arranged by Robert Plant, Saving Grace and Sam Amidon, as well as more recent treasures by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind and Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk's Low. |
