"As the seasons change, Plant is checking in from his home in rural Worcestershire, England, a couple of miles from the banks of our beautiful River Severn that divides England from Wales. This location proved central to Plant's new album and band project, Saving Gracemuch to his surprise, after his Grammy-winning 2007 collaboration with Allison Krauss, Raising Sand, led to a decade that saw him largely residing in the US and dedicated to the Americana scene."
"Seldom did I come back to exactly where I'm standing now, because I saw I was on a roll, and my learning curve was getting wider and wider. So I didn't really see anybody where I live. I see neighbors, I see the farmer, I hear the cattle in the morningit's a biblical scene, but I never spent any time really hanging out."
Robert Plant relocated to rural Worcestershire, England, near the River Severn, and that setting became central to the new album and band project, Saving Grace. The project followed a decade largely spent in the US and work in Americana after the Grammy-winning Raising Sand. Saving Grace is Plant's twelfth solo album and arrives eight years after Carry Fire. Musical curiosity led Plant across genres and continents before returning him to his hometown. Local life now includes neighbors, a farmer and cattle. Around 2018 Plant met local musician Matt Worley, formed a group of like-minded players, and began low-key recordings and performances, with the pandemic slowing progress.
