Background and promotion
Saving Grace was named after the band Plant had been performing with for over six years, which includes singer Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown.[1] In a statement, Plant spoke of the joyful dynamic he shared with the band, highlighting "the sweetness of the whole thing" and noting that they would "laugh" together frequently.[2] The album was recorded between April 2019 and January 2025 in studios across the Cotswolds and the Welsh Borders.[3] Plant began working with the Saving Grace collective during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a roots-oriented sound inspired by folk and traditional blues.[4]
To promote the album, Plant and Saving Grace will tour North America in autumn 2025.[5]
Composition and content
