Robert Plant - Saving Grace (2025)
Saving Grace is a quietly powerful and humbly assured album, one in which Robert Plant distills decades of musical curiosity into a roots-oriented, interpretive songbook. His voice, now softer and more controlled, blends beautifully with Suzi Dian’s harmonies, especially on tracks like “Gospel Plough,” which pulses with both reverence and life. The arrangements are spare yet intentional: the acoustic frame allows subtleties to emerge—fingerpicked guitars, cello, banjo, and gestures of blues or gospel texture—never overwhelming the song. Plant leans into the role of cultural excavator, rescuing lesser-known songs from obscurity and infusing them with delicate modern resonance. In the end, Saving Grace isn’t a grand gesture—it's a modest, deeply felt act of musical stewardship and renewal.
