Robert Plant will release his 11th studio album, Carry Fire, on Oct. 13. The first single, 'The May Queen,' can be heard above, and the cover art and 11-song track list can be found below.

Chrissie Hynde of THE PRETENDERS joins Plant on a cover of Ersel Hickey’s 1958 standard 'Bluebirds Over The Mountain' which has previously been covered by THE BEACH BOYS and RITCHIE VALENS.

THE SENSATIONAL SHAPE SHIFTERS once again serve as Plant’s backing band, as they did on the former LED ZEPPELIN frontman’s most recent effort, 2014’s lullaby and… the Ceaseless Roar. The band has expanded with the recent addition of folk singer Seth Lakeman, who plays on three Carry Fire tracks.
