Robert Plant and Saving Grace's EP Saving Grace: All That Glitters..., first released on vinyl for Record Store Day 2026, follows their acclaimed album Saving Grace. Both feature singer Suzi Dian and a band of musicians from the English countryside that Plant calls home. The EP's four tracks explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love: the traditional tunes "The Blackest Crow" and "Two Coats," arranged by Robert Plant and Saving Grace, as well as Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl" and Bert Jansch's "Poison."
Robert Plant’s Saving Grace: All That Glitters... was released digitally on October 9, 2026. The EP, previously released on vinyl for Record Store Day, follows Plant’s 2025 critically acclaimed album, Saving Grace; both feature singer Suzi Dian and a band of musicians from the English countryside that Plant calls home. The EP’s four tracks further explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love: the traditional tunes “The Blackest Crow” and “Two Coats,” Gillian Welch’s “Orphan Girl,” and Bert Jansch’s “Poison.”
The group, which completed two sold-out US legs last fall and this spring, performs in the Midwest and the West, with stops in Saint Louis, Santa Fe, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Chicago, among others. In their last visits to the country, Plant and the band performed at NPR’s Tiny Desk, on CBS Saturday Morning, and on NPR’s World Café. Plant also was interviewed by Stephen Colbert on the Late Show and then returned with the band during the last month of the program to perform “Higher Rock“ and “Ramble On.”
This group of distinguished musicians—vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown—explore the evolution of roots music both vintage and modern. The band members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music—blues, folk, gospel, country, and the sounds that lay in between. Saving Grace began at Plant’s home on the Welsh borderlands in 2019; this new collective of like-minded collaborators had been experimenting for barely a year, even serving as an unheralded opening act on a handful of dates for Fairport Convention, when the pandemic intervened and any formal plans were temporarily shelved. Once protocols permitted, Plant and Saving Grace began to record informally in a barn setup or outdoors, then booked themselves in small venues without fanfare.
