Robert Plant Covers Low

Robert Plant revived Band Of Joy, the name his pre-Zeppelin cover band. He’ll release an album, also titled Band Of Joy, on Sept. 14. Among the Los Lobos and Richard Thompson covers are two covers Low songs: “Silver Rider” and “Monkey,” both from their 2005 album The Great Destroyer. Both are low-key, whispered duets that sound more like Plant getting into the spirit the originals rather than changing them to fit his voice. Listen to both (as well as the entirely album) streaming at NPR. Below, check out a video for their cover Los Lobos’s “Angel Dance.”

Band Of Joy is out 9/14 Rounder Records.
