I've been a musician for some 40+ years and have listened to a lot of music, from rap and soul to funk, rock, punk, reggae, classical, baroque and beyond, but there's only one band that still gets me going every time. There is NO ONE like Zeppelin. It's not just their individual and collective virtuoso skills, improvisational or song-writing genius, it's that "it" factor. Collectively, they were by far a total phenome, the 8th wonder of the world. Pure, unadulterated genius.

Zeppelin came toward the end of the British Invasion. Most people didn't realize it at the time, but those British musicians brought Blues back to America and kids ate it up. They grew up hearing Mississippi Blues on the BBC Radio and the American Armed Forces Radio Network at the end of WWII. Groups like Zeppelin and Cream were playing Electric Blues Rock from the acoustic blues riffs they heard on the radio as kids.

The sliding guitar bendy guitar sound is a "peddle steel guitar" -- one slides a heavy slide across the strings and there are foot pedals w rods attached to the strings --- while the player is sliding and plucking strings -- they have the option of pushing the pedals down with their feet, which bends the pitch of the string or strings they are playing --- to get that bendy country sound. This is also an acoustic guitar based song -- on their first album, so Jimmy was using the acoustic guitar on their 1st album -- as well as their 2nd album and then a bit more on their 3rd album and then a lot again on their fourth album.

Guitarist Jimmy Page wrote this song after a breakup and plays a pedal steel guitar. It's also one of the few songs they all harmonize on. When Zep started, they did have just a little bit of leftover, recognizable 60s stylings, however, they were to turn the 70s on its head.

"Your Time Is Gonna Come" kicked off side two of the album, so less "going to church in the morning" and more getting up and turning the record over! [grin] It's the flower power counterpart to the hard psychedelic blues. Led Zeppelin landed in 1969, five years after the British Invasion of 1964. Robert Plant dug Janis Joplin for sure. That's not a bow, that's a slide, played with a bottleneck or a short chromed pipe, possibly a pedal steel. "Sweet Home Alabama" came out in 1974, five years after this. Listen to the next two songs on the album back to back without any break between them if you can. That is how they arrive on the album, with "Communication Breakdown" kicking off the moment "Black Mountain Side" ends.

That was a great reaction -off balance again. Regarding the British invasion is started in the early sixties spearheaded by the Beatles and rolling stones but including many great bands. You will be interested that all those guys acknowledge the American blues artists as early influences - i know you were suprised about that with LZ but all the British bands did. At some stage you might like to check out Cream -White room , The animals - house of the rising sun, The zombies- she's not there, Rolling stones- paint it black , Procul Harum - whiter shade of pale , The moody Blues -nights in white satin and the yardbirds who were the precursors to Led Zep - they also do a version of dazed and confused. This will give you a taste of what happened. oh and the Who -My Generation. In the mean time keep up the led Zep!! You are right about Plants vocals - he inspired the next generation of rock vocalists.

Tangerine was a song originally written by Page when he was with The Yardbirds. It had a different title "Knowing that I'm Losing You." It's allegedly about Page having a relationship with American singer Jackie DeShannon when she was in England to record. Jimmy was a studio musician. She had to go back to the US and the relationship didn't work out. It didn't sound a lot like Robert bc he was singing in a lower sad sounding voice. It's a super sad song --- Robert knew the meaning behind it and grabbed it -- and used a super sad voice for it -- knowing the sensitivity of the song. If you go back and listen to the song and right before the guitar solo --- there's brief a music break and he says in a super duper sad voice "...and, I do..." It's heartbreaking and so down sounding the way Robert says that line.

The spirit of Johann Sebastian Bach channeled through John Paul Jones on this one. This is one of the most profound and beautiful "church organ" songs ever written, and that's coming from someone who was an alter boy in the US Episcopal (Anglican) Church in 1969. I love(d) the German hymns acquired by the English. Music inspires those who listen.
