Legendary vocalist Robert Plant will release Saving Grace on September 26, 2025, via Nonesuch Records. This marks his debut with his new ensemble—also named Saving Grace—featuring Suzi Dian (vocals), Tony Kelsey (guitar), Oli Jefferson (drums), and a string section bringing a folk-rooted sound.
Conceived during lockdown walks in the English countryside ("The Shire"), the album is described by Plant as a “song book of the lost and found”. It includes reimaginings of century-old tracks by artists like Memphis Minnie, Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, and Moby Grape, given a gentle acoustic makeover.
Plant reflects warmly on the project’s spirit:
“We laugh a lot. I can’t find a reason to be too serious… I’m working with sweet people playing things they’ve never expressed before.”
Saving Grace was recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 across the Cotswolds and Welsh Borders, co-produced by Plant and the band. It features their version of Low's “Everybody’s Song,” already available ahead of release.
Robert Plant saves his grace with a folk reinterpretation album and first-ever U.S. tour with Saving Grace this fall.
After their European shows this summer, Robert Plant & Saving Grace will tour the U.S. for the first time, beginning October 30 in Wheeling, West Virginia, and wrapping November 22 in Los Angeles. Ticket presale starts July 17 at 10 a.m., with general sale on July 18.
