Led Zep — Best cover band ever?
October 12, 2009
We posted this previously over a year ago, but the link is now dead and it’s pretty darn entertaining stuff. If ya missed it the first time around, it seems this fella on Howard Stern’s show claims the mighty Zep stole much of their early catalogue from old bluesmen, Jake Holmes, Joan Baez, Spirit, Traffic, etc., etc. The evidence is pretty darn indisputable, but Page & Co. harnessed their energy and power to give these songs their own sound and flair. The power, mystery and the hammer of the gods, indeed.
