According to Billboard.biz, Universal Music Group has signed a worldwide distribution deal with Artists Den to release the public television show's episode featuring ROBERT PLANT & THE BAND OF JOY. It is the first time UMG and the show have worked together and Universal Music Enterprises president Bruce Resnikoff tells Billboard.biz "I hope it's the first of many projects with them."
Universal will release Robert Plant & the Band Of Joy: Live From The Artists Den on DVD and Blu-ray on July 10 and worldwide on July 9 through Universal Music Group International. Previous Artists Den releases had gone through Sony RED.
Plant created Band of Joy with guitarist Buddy Miller and singer Patty Griffin after his success with ALISON KRAUSS on Raising Sand, his 2007 release that led to five Grammy wins. Plant's Band Of Joy album - the title is a reference to the group he formed with John Bonham prior to LED ZEPPELIN - peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 in October 2010. It has sold 232,000 copies, according to Soundscan figures.
On the 16-song DVD, Plant and the Band Of Joy revisit six Led Zeppelin songs - 'Black Dog', 'Houses of the Holy', 'Tangerine', 'Ramble On', 'Gallows Pole' and 'Rock and Roll' - four songs from the Band of Joy album, 'Move Up' from Page and Plant and a few of Plant's solo works.
