Upcoming Rounder Relases: Robert Plant, Cowboy Junkies, Nancy Griffith 

Rounder Records/Zoƫ Vision is set to release the first-ever music DVD from Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant on October 24th. The set includes Led Zeppelin classics and tunes from Plant's solo career, including "Freedom Fries," which has a political twist. "The spirit of rock'n'roll is live performance," says Plant. "Studio recordings can be captivating, and live albums can capture some of the synergy in a concert, but there is really nothing like being in the moment when the music is connecting you to the people-it's truly a communion."

The Cowboy Junkies have also announced a slate of new offerings. The same day as Plant's release, Rounder will also release the Cowboy Junkies Long Jouney Home CD/DVD collection recorded live from Liverpool. The band has new tour dates and there is an Art book coming out based on Michael Timmins' lyrics with a special performance on October 7 in Santa Monica. The Junkies also announced that they will celebrate their 20th anniversary next year with a new studio CD along with a new DVD performance at the church where the amazing Trinity Session record was recorded.

In November, Rounder is releasing new material from Grammy winner and songwriter extraordinaire Nancy Griffith. Her Ruby's Torch will include new originals and some cover songs, including Tom Waits' "Grapefruit Moon," "Ruby's Arms," and "Please Call Me, Baby."
