Robert Plant and Saving Grace release a vinyl EP, Saving Grace: All That Glitters..., this Saturday for Record Store Day, the annual celebration of independent record stores. Plant is this year's Record Store Day Legend. Find a participating store near you here.

The record follows Plant's recent 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, recently recorded especially for RSD, 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."

Saving Grace is what Plant calls “a song book of the lost and found." Its genesis was during lockdown, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. It was in the English countryside that he connected closely to this diverse group of musicians—vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown—who had a shared lean towards his corners of evocative song. Produced by Plant and the band and recorded over six years in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, Saving Grace features songs by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Low. You can get it and hear it here.

Robert Plant and Saving Grace were on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week to perform "Higher Rock," from Saving Grace, as well as "Ramble On." You can watch both here.

Also last week, Plant and the band concluded their US spring tour at New York City’s iconic Cathedral of St. John the Divine. They head to Latin America in May and back to Europe in June. For details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
