Robert Plant will release his first album since 2021’s Alison Krauss collaboration, Raise the Roof. Saving Grace arrives on Sept. 26 and marks Plant’s first solo album since 2017’s Carry Fire.
The nine-song LP, recorded with his new band Saving Grace, features covers of songs by Moby Grape (“It’s a Beautiful Day Today”), Blind Willie Johnson (“Soul of a Man”) and the Low Anthem (“Ticket Taker”).
You can hear their cover of the Minnesota indie-rock band Low’s “Everybody’s Song” below. (Plant previously covered a pair of Low songs, “Silver Rider” and “Monkey,” on 2010’s Band of Joy.)
The upcoming album, Plant’s 12th solo record, is named after the band he has performed with over the past six years: singer Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.

“We laugh a lot, really,” Plant said in a press release announcing the album. “I think that suits me. I like laughing. You know, I can’t find any reason to be too serious about anything. I’m not jaded. The sweetness of the whole thing …
“These are sweet people, and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists, and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.”
