Due September 26 via Nonesuch Records, the singer first teamed up with the group in 2019 for a series of surprise gigs in small venues across England, Wales, and Ireland; now, six years later, the outfit will introduce its first record.
The lineup features Plant, vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.
“We laugh a lot, really. I think that suits me. I like laughing,” says Plant. “You know, I can't find any reason to be too serious about anything. I'm not jaded. The sweetness of the whole thing … These are sweet people and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.”
Produced by Plant and the band, “Saving Grace” was recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Bordersm where they breathed fresh life into a collection of century-old music.
A treasury of songs featured back in time 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.
After touring extensively across the UK and Europe in recent months and years, Robert Plant and Saving Grace will perform for the first time in the US this fall, with an initial run of a dozen North American shows that will open in Wheeling WV on October 30.
The group is sharing a reimagined rendition of Low’s “Everybody’s Song” as the first preview to the album.
