Saving Grace, the band formed in 2019 by former Led Zeppelin man Robert Plant and singer Suzi Dian, have finally announced details of their long-awaited debut album. Saving Grace is scheduled to arrive on September 26 via Nonesuch Records.
Plant calls the album "a song book of the lost and found," and it includes covers of songs by Memphis Minnie, Moby Grape's Bob Mosley, Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind and Mimi Parker.
The first song to emerge from the collection is a version of Low's Everybody’s Song, the song that soundtracked a promotional movie made by train operator Trenitalia last year, in which Plant and Saving Grace – completed by drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley and cellist Barney Morse-Brown – could be seen travelling through Italy.
“We laugh a lot, really," says Plant. "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."
Saving Grace, which was recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in studios in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, is available to pre-order now.
The band have also confirmed their first shows in the US, a schedule that kicks off at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, WV, on October 30, and finishes up on November 22 at the United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles, CA. Full dates below.
