    Robert Plant’s Saving Grace: All That Glitters... is now available digitally. 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 video for "The Blackest Crow," made by Saving Grace cellist Barney Morse-Brown, may be seen here. Plant and the band are now touring the US.
