Introducing Robert Plant’s New Album: Saving Grace
Renowned for his vocal prowess and musical innovation, Robert Plant is back with exciting news for fans around the globe. His latest single, “Chevrolet,” serves as the third advanced track from his upcoming album, Saving Grace, slated for release on September 26, 2025. Following the earlier releases of “Everybody’s Song” and “Gospel Plough,” this new track signifies Plant’s ongoing evolution as an artist.
A Nod to the Past: The Inspiration Behind “Chevrolet”
In an intriguing twist, “Chevrolet” is an interpretation of Donovan’s classic 1965 song “Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness).” This track itself derives from a 1930 blues piece titled “Can I Do It for You,” originally performed by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy. Plant has a long history of paying homage to the influences that shaped him, notably the Memphis blues that permeated Led Zeppelin’s works, including their iconic “When the Levee Breaks,” which Plant famously covered.
For fans eager to dive into Robert Plant‘s creative process, this fusion of influences showcases his commitment to both honoring musical history and pushing contemporary boundaries. As Plant shared, “What I am really impressed by is this living, new world of whatever this music is.” It’s clear that his approach to crafting music today is as fresh as ever.
