Overview

  • “Gospel Plough,” a reimagined Blind Willie Johnson spiritual, streams today as the closing track from the upcoming album Saving Grace.
  • Saving Grace, due Sept. 26 via Nonesuch Records, features ten covers spanning early 20th-century blues to contemporary indie folk.
  • The band—Suzi Dian, Oli Jefferson, Tony Kelsey, Matt Worley and Barney Morse-Brown—recorded informally across rural English barns and fields with a single-mic setup.
  • Ambient details such as birdsong remain audible on tracks to underscore the project’s relaxed, organic approach.
  • Plant and Saving Grace will launch their first North American tour Oct. 30, with an added Nov. 23 date in California and stops across the U.S. and Canada.
