Robert Plant’s critically-acclaimed Saving Grace: All That Glitters… is out now digitally on Nonesuch Records. The EP, previously released on vinyl for Record Store Day, follows Plant’s 2025 critically acclaimed album, Saving Grace; both feature singer Suzi Dian and a band of musicians from the English countryside that Plant calls home.  The EP’s four tracks further explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love: the traditional tunes ‘The Blackest Crow’ and ‘Two Coats’, Gillian Welch’s ‘Orphan Girl’, and Bert Jansch’s ‘Poison’.

This group of distinguished musicians – vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown – explore the evolution of roots music both vintage and modern.  The band members were drawn together by a shared love of roots music – blues, folk, gospel, country, and the sounds that lay in between.  Saving Grace began at Plant’s home on the Welsh borderlands in 2019; this new collective of like-minded collaborators had been experimenting for barely a year, even serving as an unheralded opening act on a handful of dates for Fairport Convention, when the pandemic intervened and any formal plans were temporarily shelved. Once protocols permitted, Plant and Saving Grace began to record informally in a barn setup or outdoors, then booked themselves in small venues without fanfare.
