Saving Grace

Great album, speedy delivery

Fairly typical later period Robert Plant

I saw Robert Plant on tour with Saving Grace In March 2024 and really enjoyed the band and the swirling intensity of the music. Robert was in splendid voice. So, when I knew that Saving Grace were bringing out an album, I had to get it. OK, the album has a very different sound to what I saw last year. It lacks the sheer intensity of the live band but nevertheless is an enjoyable set of songs, more rootsy and more in the vein of his work with Alison Krauss than the Sensational Space Shifters. It does have all the hallmarks of the kind of music that he has been making ever since Band of Joy in 2010, so if you are a fan, you'll probably like this. The musicians are hugely accomplished and cover a lot of instruments and the more I've listened to the album, the more I like it. It isn't truly classic Plant, but it is very enjoyable Plant. The songs are all covers of old blues and Americana with a couple of tracks from that well-known artist "Traditional". It is always good to get new Plant music and this is a really enjoyable addition to his huge body of work.

Excellent album, go and buy it!!
