Artist: ROBERT PLANT
Album: BAND OF JOY VINYL (2LP)

Release date: 2010
Media type: LP

Band of Joy, the name of the blues band Robert Plant formed before Led Zeppelin, is set to perform with Patty Griffin and other US folk and country artists.

Robert Plant has announced plans to tour with a new group, resurrecting the name of the band he formed before joining Led Zeppelin. The Band of Joy will play 12 US dates before releasing an album later this year.

"I'm enjoying such creativity and vitality," Plant said in a statement. The new project has little in common with Led Zeppelin, or even with the original Band of Joy. Plant is the only holdover from the little-known blues act, which briefly rocked Birmingham in the late 1960s. Late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham was also a member.
