Robert Plant has announced that his new album Saving Grace will arrive on September 26 via Nonesuch Records. “A song book of the lost and found,” as Plant refers to it, the project features a brand new band consisting of vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.
Saving Grace began in the English countryside with this new group of collaborators. “We laugh a lot, really,” Plant shared. “I think that suits me. I like laughing. 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.”
The album’s first single, a cover of Low’s “Everybody’s Song,” is out now. Check that out below, and pre-order Saving Grace here.
