"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. The record is his twelfth solo album following the demise of Led Zeppelin in 1980; it's been a full eight years since the last Plant release, 2017's Carry Fire,"
"I found myself spending less and less time in the UK, he says of the period that followed Raising Sand. 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. And to be honest, I've felt that since the late 80s that the scene locally hadn't got anything to offer me. I never thought that my right passage would bring me back to a British project. I'd moved along into Nashville, into Austin, and my cup overrunneth."
Robert Plant relocated to rural Worcestershire near the River Severn and used that setting to inform a new album and band project called Saving Grace. The move followed a decade largely spent in the United States after the Grammy-winning 2007 collaboration Raising Sand, during which he explored Americana and lived in Nashville and Austin. Saving Grace is Plant's twelfth solo album and arrives eight years after 2017's Carry Fire. Plant encountered local musician Matt Worley around 2018, assembled like-minded players, and began recording and performing locally, with the process slowed by the pandemic.
