since 2010’s Band of Joy, which followed 2007’s six-time Grammy Award–winning
collaboration with Alison Krauss, Raising Sand. Justin Adams and John Baggott
of The Sensational Space Shifters appeared on Plant’s 2002 release Dreamland,
while all but Camara and Smith appeared on 2005’s Mighty Rearranger. The new-
album line-up recently toured the world before recording lullaby and… The
Ceaseless Roar at Helium Studios in Wiltshire and Real World Studios in Bath,
UK. The track “Rainbow” was recorded in Contino Rooms in London. Tchad Blake
mixed all but three tracks on the album. “It’s really a celebratory record,
powerful, gritty, African, Trance meets Zep,” Plant says. “The whole impetus
of my life as a singer has to be driven by a good brotherhood. I am very lucky
to work with The Sensational Space Shifters. They come from exciting areas of
contemporary music…I have been around awhile and I ask myself, do I have
anything to say? Is there a song still inside me? In my heart? I see life and
what’s happening to me. Along the trail there are expectations,
disappointments, happiness, questions and strong relationships,” Plant
explains, “… and now I’m able to express my feelings through melody, power
and trance; together in a kaleidoscope of sound, colour, and friendship.”
