Robert Plant - Carry Fire

Carry Fire is the eleventh solo studio album by British singer-songwriter Robert Plant, released in October 2017 via Nonesuch Records.

Carry Fire is Robert Plant’s first full-length release since 2014’s acclaimed lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar.

Plant and his touring band the Sensational Space Shifters spent two years on the road together supporting lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar. As a consequence of spending time together on the road, their unique sound and vision has ultimately evolved into something even more creative and powerful.

Plant, who lived in Texas for a time before returning to his native England three years ago, together with his friends, present Carry Fire, melding unusual rhythms with naturalism and smouldering power.

Plant says of the self-produced Carry Fire: “It’s about intention; I respect and relish my past works but each time I feel the lure and 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”.

Plant and his band the Sensational Space Shifters are joined on Carry Fire by special guests including The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde and the celebrated Seth Lakeman on viola and fiddle.

The album has reached #14 on the US Billboard 200, #3 on the UK and #16 on the Australian Albums chart.

Check out the tracks:  “The May Queen”; Bones of Saints”; “Bluebirds Over The Mountain”; and “Carry Fire”.

This double album 2LP record set is on black vinyl with etched Side D, housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed booklet, pressed in Europe.
