The Fat Angel Sings

Nonesuch Records releases a vinyl EP from Robert Plant this Record Store Day, “Saving Grace: All That Glitters..”.

The record follows his recent 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, recently recorded especially for RSD, explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love: the traditional tunes “The Blackest Crow” and “Two Coats,” arranged by Robert Plant and Saving Grace, as well as Gillian Welch’s “Orphan Girl” and Bert Jansch’s “Poison.”

“Robert Plant And Saving Grace’s EP All That Glitters… follows their critically acclaimed album “Saving Grace”, including a band of musicians from the English countryside that Plant calls home. The EP’s four tracks explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love:

The traditional tunes “The Blackest Crow” and “Two Coats“, arranged by Plant and Saving Grace, as well as Gillian Welch’s “Orphan Girl” and Bert Jansch’s “Poison”. Saving Grace is what Plant calls “a songbook of the lost and found.” Its genesis was during lockdown, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. It was in the English countryside that he connected closely to this diverse group of musicians who had a shared lean towards his corners of evocative song.
