Led Zeppelin III

  • AMG Review of Led Zeppelin III

    On their first two albums, Led Zeppelin unleashed a relentless barrage of heavy lues and ockabilly riffs, but Led Zeppelin III provided the band with the necessary room to grow musically. While there are still a handful of metallic rockers, III is built on a folky, acoustic foundation that gives the music extra depth. And even the rockers aren't as straightforward as before: the galloping "Immigrant Song" is powered by Robert Plant's banshee wail, "Celebration Day" turns lues-rock inside out with a warped slide guitar riff, and "Out on the Tiles" lumbers along with a tricky, multi-part riff. Nevertheless, the heart of the album lies on the second side, when the band delve deeply into English folk. "Gallows Pole" updates a raditional tune with a menacing flair, and "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is an infectious acoustic romp, while "That's the Way" and "Tangerine" are shimmering songs with graceful country flourishes. The band hasn't left the lues behind, but the twisted bottleneck lues of "Hats off to (Roy) Harper" actually outstrips the epic "Since I've Been Loving You," which is the only time Zeppelin sound a bit set in their ways.

LeadBelly VS Led Zeppelin
over 2 years ago

I was reading a good post by everyones favourite Placebo fan the other day (Anna rocks) in which she was discussing the Wolfmother album. Of course the posts lead to the discussion of who they sound like (Zeppelin, Sabbath, etc.)and someone mentioned she should forget about Wolfmother and go for Zeppelin as they are 100% original.Well after waking up on the floor hours later from the shock, I r...

MUSIC AND FILMS

I was watching Almost Famous on HBO the other night (again) and it has two of the best "use of songs in a movie" examples I can think of and that got me to thinking about other moments like that. I threw together a list of what immediately popped into mind though there were some stuff I left off for just being too obvious (basically, any Scorsese film and Pulp Fiction too). End scene, Almos...

This song has sparse lyrics,but because of that, its very powerful.Melodic, even folksy-like, the only hint of rock is when the guitar riff starts in the middle section. If i have a soundtrack of my life this would be one of the sounds in it...

All That Lives is Born to Die

A very good friend was recently diagnosed with skin cancer. He has such a difficult time facing his own mortality that he can not say (or write) the word "Cancer". He calls it "recnac" (Cancer backwards). That got me to thinking about the role music and poetry have always played in helping us humans deal with our mortality. Whenever my thoughts turn to this subject I can not help but hear Rober...

Tripping The English Countryside Fantastic

Those who discount Led Zeppelin as cockrock drenched in English Countryside mysticism are, well, kinda right. But Zep was a whole lot more, as I'm learning from Barney Hoskyns book on the famed Zeppelin IV record.Dig the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp and then drop over to Fusion 45 for a bit more.

I didn't really catch on to Led Zeppelin beyond Stairway To Heaven and the like until I started to do AOR radio in the 1980's. Even then, I didn't get much further than Whole Lotta Love. The blues influence on the boys from the Black Country, the nuances of what made them the biggest rock and [...]
