The four songs recorded by Robert Plant with Saving Grace that will be released on a new EP were originally intended for the band’s “next record”, Plant said in an interview.
Speaking to Record Collector magazine for its April 2026 issue, Plant hinted that he has been working on a second Saving Grace album.
“To be honest, the four tracks I’ve given to the project were part of the next record”, Plant told the magazine. “I thought, wait a minute, I really want to expand and show where I’ve ended up now at last. I just want people to know that everything’s not about just puffing your chest out. It’s gotta be where you say ‘Hey, listen to this. We’ve done this. It could’ve been the next project,’ and all that stuff. Instead of that, let’s just do this as a contribution to a day when we want to try and encourage people to switch on again. They are switching on more and more, so that’s good to know.”
Plant announced on February 4 that he will release the four-track covers EP “Saving Grace: All That Glitters… with Suzi Dian” for Record Store Day on April 18.
“All That Glitters” will be limited to 3,500 copies, the Record Store Day US website claims. All of the tracks are “new studio recordings,” it adds.
Here’s the tracklist for the EP:
- The Blackest Crow (traditional)
- Poison (Bert Jansch cover)
- Orphan Girl (Gillian Welch cover)
- She Cried (written by Ted Daryll and Greg Richards)
Plant previously hinted that more music was likely to surface from Saving Grace following the release of the band’s first album in September.
“It’s not finished,” Plant said of the band in an interview with Classic Rock Magazine published in September. “There’s loads more. If I open the trunk of my car, all these songs fall out. Songs recorded, songs not recorded. It’s a trove.”
Keep on singing Robert. Sorry I missed you
Robert Plant is a music genius.
Bert Jansch getting a credit this time, still no arranging credit for Black Mountain Side on reissues of Led Zepplin’s 1st LP
Robert is a pure heart
We just saw his show in San Antonio Texas at the Majestic..on March 19… Wow it was great..and I loved when he pulled out the Harmonica and named out .. truly a great great show keep rocking Man you still got the Chops
He’s still got that allure…
I met him in 1985, he was quite the Gentleman.
Good to know more great stuff is coming.
The music RP makes today is for his own muse, I find absolutely nothing interesting or inspiring in this band or his previous works with with all these folk artistes. I knew a long time ago that one like Plant wouldn’t and didn’t need to continue singing classic rock songs, though in a million years never thought I would listen to the garbage coming from now.
@Robert, he man you miss some roots!
