NEW ALBUMS
Q & A
Robert Plant: “It makes me feel really good to sing alongside another voice”
YOU’VE been keeping yourself busy, with a new group, a new album, tours coming up... You work on things, you have ideas, and it becomes something you didn’t expect, then you go with it. It’s like a magnificent courtship, creating a new musical situation. Enthusiasm never hurt anybody, really. It’s just all constantly in motion.
This is very much a band – would you prefer it to be billed as just Saving Grace, without your name?
Yeah, you’re absolutely right. If I go all the way back to 1980, ’81 or ’82, well, then I definitely was RP, but as time’s gone on I’ve moved into these relationships with musicians, where they’re all contributors, mostly to the same degree. We can get probably a little bit more leverage sticking my name there, but Suzi, her name’s prominent and she’s a major force in what we’re doing. So I’m spreading the love, really.
