Robert Plant was on CBS Saturday Morning to talk with Robert Costa and perform a Saturday Sessions set with Saving Grace—vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown—from the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. They perform three songs from their new album, Saving Grace—"Higher Rock," "It's a Beautiful Day Today," and "Everybody's Song." You can watch the full interview and performances here:
Saving Grace, Robert Plant's first album with this new band of distinguished players, is what he 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 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 hear the album and get it here.
Robert Plant stopped by for the Nonesuch Selects video series, in which artists visit the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorite albums from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. He chose recordings by Kronos Quartet, The Low Anthem, Neba Solo & Benego Diakité, Bulgarian State Television Female Choir, Viktor Krauss, and Charlie Feathers. You can watch it here.
Robert Plant and Saving Grace visited NPR in Washington, DC, to perform a Tiny Desk Concert of four songs from Saving Grace: "Gospel Plough," "Higher Rock," "Everybody's Song," and "It's a Beautiful Day Today"—followed by "Gallows Pole." You can watch it here.
