Robert Plant resurrects Band Of Joy
Plant and drummer John Bonham were members of Band Of Joy before going on to form Led Zeppelin with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones in 1968.
The supergroup’s 2010 incarnation features Patty Griffin on vocals, multi-instrumentalist Darrell Scott, guitarist and co-producer Buddy Miller, drummer Marco Giovino and bassist Byron House.
Band Of Joy are gearing up for an American tour in July, ahead of releasing a new album later in the year.
“It’s been a blast working on these new songs… and I’m enjoying such creativity and vitality,” Plant said in a statement. “It’s been a remarkable change of direction for all of us and as a group we all seem to have developed a new groove.”
This album will be Plant’s first studio album since 2007’s Raising Sand, the collaboration with Alison Krauss which went multiplatinum and won a Grammy.
