What's The Story?
Ever hear of Led Zeppelin?
This is the second track from that album that happened in between Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin IV.
Who's To Blame?
The ginger-headed devil that writes this blog, and his inability to pass up a classic album for $5 in a record store.
Why ♥ It?
Confession time: I only heard this song last week.
Or well, I've heard it before in the countless tracks today that steal some of its better sensibilities. But legitimately the first time I recall hearing it is last week when I picked up a long-neglected addition to my CD collection.
So let's start on the track. The lead guitar in verse that cooperates with the vocals really reminds me of Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out. As do some of the transitional guitar leads. The song was made with a catchy sort of swing in mind.
Next up, this song succeeds really well in mashing hard rock and funk. Hard funk is probably a genre I haven't invested my ears far enough into, if indeed it exists. The keys in this song back up the aforementioned awesome sounds that the guitars bring forth in a way that I really don't think I'd heard until now.
I would love to be downtown somewhere and hear this song in a bar--this tune is a great feet-mover that will still satisfy the types that hit the bar to hear classic rock cover bands.
Oh, and that description applies to the studio track, too. If you like moving feet or Moving Pictures, this song is worth the 5:39.
