Omschrijving

Rock, alt-country, folk, blues. 

Birthed via a Black Country communion which saw Robert Plant and his new, largely unknown bandmates enjoy a lengthy courtship off-radar, Saving Grace feels guileless, almost serendipitous.

What might happen, Plant mused, if he shipped what he’d learned from T Bone Burnett, Alison Krauss et al home and duetted on choice blues, alt-country and folk covers with Brum-born former music teacher, Suzi Dian? Across 10 intimate songs deftly ornamented by guitarists Matt Worley and Tony Kelsey and cellist Barney Morse-Brown, magic happens.

As much avuncular vibe-master as Golden God, Plant cedes some lead vocal terrain to Dian (Too Far From You) and Worley (Blind Willie Johnson’s Soul Of A Man) while bringing extra gravitas to The Low Anthem’s Ticket Taker, blowing raw harp, and re-inventing Low’s Everybody’s Song as a psychedelic raga. 

This is Plant as enthused musicologist, sharing inspirations, passing batons.
