Description
Robert Plant has confirmed the launch of his 11th solo album, Carry Fire, which is to be released on October 13 via Nonesuch / Warner, and accompanied with a 14-date UK tour.
The follow-up to 2014s Lullaby And The Ceaseless Roar features backing band The Sensational Shape Shifters, who make their second appearance on record with the former Led Zeppelin frontman.
He first used the phrase carry fire in his song Dancing In Heaven from 2005 album Mighty ReArranger. Pretenders vocalist Chrissie Hynde makes a guest appearance on a cover of Bluebirds Over The Mountain, previously recorded by Richie Valens and the Beach Boys.
Plant says: Its about intention. I respect and relish my past works, but each time I feel the incentive to create new work, I must mix old with new.
Consequently, the whole impetus of the band has moved on its axis somewhat the new sound and different space giving way to exciting and dramatic landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation.
