Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant Announces New Album 'Band Of Joy'

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has announced details about a new solo album.

‘Band Of Joy’, which is the follow-up to 2007’s ‘Raising Sand’, will be released on September 13.

The record was co-produced by Plant and Nashville guitarist Buddy Miller.

“Buddy’s integral to this album, you can hear his taste all over the instrumentation,” Plant said.

“Buddy’s zone is beautiful, with a lot of reflections going back into mid-Fifties rockabilly, the singing fishermen and all the great country stuff, along with the soul and R&B from Memphis.”

Plant is due to tour the US in support of the album in July, with additional dates set to be announced shortly.
