Robert Plant is coming back with a new album of song covers called “Saving Grace”!
Out on September, 26, the album is named after Plant’s new band that features vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. To push the new album Plant dropped the lead single, “Everybody’s Song,” which is a cover of Minnesota indie band Low.
“We laugh a lot, really. I think that suits me. I like laughing,” Plant says. “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 includes covers of Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley of Moby Grape, Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind and Low. The band will go on tour in Europe and the U.S. this fall.
