On Wednesday (July 16), legendary Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant announced that he is releasing a new album, Saving Grace, on September 26th via Nonesuch Records. The record will be supported by a 14-date U.S. tour featuring Plant’s band of the same name, which includes vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. The 10-track album has been in the works for over six years, and it features the lead single, a cover of Low’s “Everybody’s Song.” Saving Grace was produced by the 76-year-old Plant and the band, and it showcases reinterpretations of songs by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, and Sarah Siskind. The tour marks Saving Grace’s debut performances in the U.S., and kicks off on October 30 in Wheeling, West Virginia, with stops including Brooklyn, Chicago, and Seattle, before finishing on November 22 in Los Angeles. Ticket pre-sales start on Thursday (July 17), with general on-sale following on Friday (July 18). (Consequence of Sound)
