The 10-tune record features a collection of songs by artists as varied as Low, Memphis Minnie, Moby Grape's Bob Mosley, Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind and Mimi Parker. It continues exploring Plant's enduring interest in early San Francisco psychedelic rock, acoustic Mississippi Delta blues and folk-tinged indie rock as heard on previously celebrated Nonesuch Records releases as 2014's lullaby and … The Ceaseless Roar and 2017's Carry Fire. Plant had this to say in a press release about the new crew and material: 'We laugh a lot, really, and I think that suits me; I like laughing,' said Plant. 'I can't find any reason to be too serious about anything, I'm not jaded. These are sweet people and they are playing out all the stuff that they could never get out before. They have become unique stylists and together they seem to have landed in a most interesting place.' Plant's most recent tour to Vancouver was with his several Grammy-winning duo with Allison Krauss for two sold out shows at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre last August. The Vancouver Sun review noted that 'Plant is clearly having a great time with this group and enjoying the standing ovations,' while clearly still driven to create new and meaningful music distanced from his Led Zeppelin legacy. 'I rejoice in my previous work but must continue the journey to new worlds, after all there are so many songs that are yet to be written,' said Plant. 'The whole impetus of the band has shifted, moved on its axis somewhat to allow more air and light to come in. Ultimately that makes for more exciting, and interesting landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation.' Here are five things to know about the artist's upcoming tour date in Vancouver.
