New Robert Plant Single On Air Tonight

'Angel Dance', the first single from Robert Plant's brand new studio album Band Of Joy, will be given its first airing on the station tonight.

The song is the album opener from the new record (which some of us here at Planet Rock have heard - everyone is united in the opinion that it's just brilliant) and will be given it's first spin on the station in Nicky's show after 6pm.

Band Of Joy is released on 13 September and is the follow up to 2007's Alison Krauss collaboration album, Raising Sand. The new record definitely has similar roots to its predecessor, but it's a slightly more bluesy affair and the onus is definitely on Robert Plant on this one.

So tune in after 6pm to hear the new song and let Nicky know what you thought.

Robert will be out on the road this Autumn / Winter for a handful of shows:

2nd September,  HMV Forum, London
26th October, St David’s Hall, Cardiff
27th October, Symphony Hall, Birmingham
31st October 2010, Palace Theatre, Manchester
