Robert Plant told a crowd at the Lucca Summer Festival in Lucca, Italy on July 13 that Saving Grace’s debut album will be released in 6 weeks.
Plant’s on-stage comments were first reported by Rolling Stone Italy and confirmed by LedZepNews reader Michael Clark.
“The announcement of their first studio album, due out in a month and a half, confirms the band’s full maturity, with multi-instrumentalist Matt Worley as the true driving force behind their music,” Rolling Stony Italy reported, according to a Google Translate copy of the article.
“Robert said to the audience ‘we will be releasing an album in 6 weeks time'”, Clark wrote in a comment on this site.
Earlier this year, Plant reportedly confirmed two of the songs that will be released on Saving Grace’s debut album.
According to a review of Plant’s May 6 performance in Amsterdam published by OOR, Plant said on stage during the performance that the band’s cover of “Everybody’s Song” by Low will be on the album that “will definitely be released this century”.
And according to a review of Plant’s May 3 performance in Brussels, Belgium published by KnackFocus, Plant said during that show that the band’s cover of the Moby Grape song “It’s a Beautiful Day Today” would be included on the album.
Plant has been performing with Saving Grace since January 25, 2019, but the group has never released an album. The only recorded music the band has released was the song “As I Roved Out” that was sent to people who bought tickets for the band’s 2023 UK tour.
Earlier this year, the homepage of Plant’s website was updated to feature the band’s bison logo and the text “Hey Grace”, a possible sign that an album will be on the way.
Plant has repeatedly dropped hints that Saving Grace’s debut album is on the way, but so far there has been no official announcement of it.
Sorry Plant. This new stuff you have been putting out is absolutely garbage. Robert Plant solo albums have been a hit or miss.
1. Pictures at 11 – some spectacular songs with the late Cozy Powell had some zeppelin dust ion some the tracks.
2. Principles moment.- staple of the 1980s, a hint of where zeppelin could have gone.
3. Shaken N stirred.- 1 classic song rest hard to listen to.
4. Now & Zen. Robert noticed his record sales weren’t as high so he throwing some zeppelin samples and it’s the first time that he sings any Led Zeppelin songs live the album decent.
