Robert Plant makes a guest appearance on Patty Griffin’s new album Crown of Roses which will be released on July 25.
Plant contributes backing vocals on the song “Long Time”, it has been announced.
Plant and Griffin began a relationship and lived together in Texas after performing and recording as part of Plant’s Band of Joy project that began in 2010. The pair ended their relationship around 2013, however.
“Patty and I tried a sort of zig-zag across the Atlantic,” Plant told The Independent in 2014, “but she didn’t share my penchant for cider and she used to marvel at the Black Country character I became after four pints of Thatchers. My feelings are very much ones of sadness and regret, but I also disturbed myself. I had to come back [to Worcestershire] to find out just how much I valued what I’d left behind – it’s an old song, I guess.”
Plant previously appeared on Griffin’s 2013 album American Kid along with her self-titled 2019 album and her 2022 album Tape.
A Toussaint McCall cover Plant recorded with Griffin titled “Nothing Takes The Place Of You” was part of the soundtrack to the 2013 film “Winter In The Blood” and was also released on Plant’s 2020 compilation album Digging Deep: Subterranea. That album also included “Too Much Alike”, a previously unreleased Charlie Feathers cover Plant recorded with Griffin.
“Back at the Start”, the first single from Griffin’s new album, has already been released. Plant doesn’t feature on this song, however.
