Album Review
The late 1960`s were a time of change in the music industry. The psychodelic sounds & guitar solos were always a crowd pleaser.
In February of 1969, the british band Led Zeppelin emerged introducing a unique sound that no other band could reproduce. Led Zeppelin 1 on Atlantic Records introduced a rock, metal, blues, & destinct sound.
`Good Times, Bad Times` was a classic powerhouse tune, followed by `Babe, I`m Gonna Leave You`, which combined a rock to blues feel. And just when you start to appreciate the blues, the atonishingly powerful `You Shook Me` blasts you into lounging guitar, harmonica, & drums.
This of course leads you into the classic `Dazed and Confused`. A song that needs no explanation.
`Your Time Is Gonna Come` goes from breathtaking organs, to a rocking thump for a few minutes. The ` Black Moutain Side` english folk trirls for & then your struck by the driving force of `Communication Breakdown`.
Taking the heavy, distorted electric blues of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Cream to an extreme, Zeppelin created a majestic, powerful brand of guitar rock constructed around simple, memorable riffs and lumbering rhythms.
