5.0 out of 5 stars Much More than An Album of Cover Songs, February 11, 2003

By

This review is from: Led Zeppelin: This Ain't No Tribute Series (Audio CD)

I have greatly enjoyed this album. These covers were expertly reworked in quite a few different blues styles...from the the slower deep-south-style blues with acoustic guitars and harmonicas to the more jazzy upbeat blues, complete with screaming electric instruments. This album is also a great way to get jump-started finding newer, prodigious blues bands to get into. A couple quick ideas for the critical songs of the album...hear some AMAZING one-man-band acoustic work in 'Custard Pie' by Eric Gales. Hear two very cool versions of 'When the Levee Breaks', one acoustic, the other electric. 'Hey, Hey' by Chris King guaranteed to get you feeling good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blues Heaven, March 30, 2006

It sounded interesting, and the other reviewers gave some good praise, so I went ahead and bought it.

Ladies and gents, I'm glad I did. Listening to many of the tracks, it's hard to believe they weren't ORIGINALLY blues! The renditions are so pure, so well done -- if you like blues, you'll love this collection.

I'm now going to try some of the other "This Ain't No Tribute" series... I hope they're as good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blues artists do Led Zeppelin, February 6, 2006

Led Zeppelin embodied much of the early blues music into their compositions, and on this recording, the tables are turned, as the blues artists do their interpretations of Zeppelin. Carl Weathersby does an outstanding rendition of "Good Times, Bad Times" and Billy Branch tears up "When the Levee Breaks". A truly enjoyable listen.
