Title: Robert Plant's "Band Of Joy" Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 15, 2010, 04:49:31 PM "Band of Joy", the new album from Plant and BAND OF JOY ? a new version of his pre-LED ZEPPELIN group which also featured the late John Bonham ? was released on September 14, 2010.
Plant's first release since recording the six-time Grammy-winning bluegrass album "Raising Sand" with collaborator Alison Krauss in 2007, the "Band of Joy" CD enlists the help of an array of U.S. musicians, all of whom are performing with Plant on tour. Plant previewed the album at a low-key gig in New York earlier in the summer, and amongst the 12 tracks are covers of a rare TOWNES VAN ZANDT track "Harm's Swift Way", as well as two tracks ? "Silver Rider" and "Monkey" ? from indie band LOW, both from their 2005 album "The Great Destroyer". Plant says on his web site of "Band of Joy" that "It's been a blast working on these new songs ... and I'm enjoying such creativity and vitality. 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." The new lineup of BAND OF JOY includes: Patty Griffin on vocals; Darrell Scott on multiple instruments and vocals; Byron House on bass and vocals; Marco Giovino on drums, percussion and vocals; and co-producer Buddy Miller on guitar and vocals. "Band of Joy" track listing: 01. Angel Dance 02. House Of Cards 03. Central Two-O-Nine 04. Silver Rider 05. You Can't Buy My Love 06. Falling In Love Again 07. The Only Sound That Matters 08.
