Legendary British singer / songwriter Robert Plant has signed with Nonesuch Records, which will release his label debut later this year.
Further details about the album, which will feature the Sensational Space Shifters band, will be announced shortly, as will upcoming tour dates.
Robert Plant made his first commercial recordings in 1966. In 1967, he formed a group called the Band of Joy with drummer John Bonham. Soon Bonham, Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, and bassist John Paul Jones formed The New Yardbirds, which eventually became Led Zeppelin. The Led Zeppelin era ended in 1980, when Bonham died. Since that time, Plant has turned his wide-ranging musical talents toward solo albums as well as recordings with Jimmy Page and with bands like the Honeydrippers, Priory of Brion, Strange Sensation, and Band of Joy.
Plant says of working with Nonesuch, “I’m pleased to find such a reputable home for our renegade departures. The support and encouragement we have received has been strong and refreshing. Turn It Up!”
The new album will be released worldwide by Nonesuch/Warner Brothers Records.
