Band of Joy (album)

Band of Joy is English rock singer Robert Plant's ninth solo album and the first with his new backing group, the Band of Joy.

In addition to the song "Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down", which is the opening theme for the Starz television series Boss, the credits of BBC One's Luther for an episode aired on 16 July 2013 and the season two finale of the Syfy series Defiance, the album is notable for the song "Monkey".

Metacritic's aggregate score for the album is 80 out of 100,[10] indicating "generally favorable reviews".

[11] Q Magazine in its January 2011 edition ranked Band of Joy as the second best album of 2010, stating that, "free from having to imitate his 20-year-old self in Zeppelin, the sexagenarian sings to his strengths here, with Miller and Griffin his not-so secret weapons on an album that pinwheels between gentlemanly country-blues ("Cindy, I'll Marry You Some Day"), spooky lo-fi ("Silver Rider") and charming '60s pop ("You Can't Buy My Love").

Frontman and vocalist Robert Plant was nominated for best British Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards 2011.
