The concept: "11 struggling young bands interpret some of LED ZEP's most bitchin' tunes". The excecution: pretty good, for the most part. Nothing is great, but nothing is awful, either. All the performers come up with different interpretations of these classic songs, some more succesfully than others. The most interesting ones are a rap version of "Black Dog" and an acoustic version of "Rock and Roll". Zeppelin fans who are interested in hearing new interpretations of the band's songs should give it a listen.

OK, this is one of those albums (along w/ The Pointer Sisters' "Priority," Tony Joe White's "The Real Thang," Moby Grape's "20 Granite Creek," Terence Boylan's "Suzy," and Hamilton Camp's "Here's To You") that I've been eagerly awaiting re-release on CD. I'm one of those who freely admit that I thoroughly DETESTED Led Zepplin (even though, when I was young, I had to perform several of their songs in various "band incarnations") - I mean, I would LOVE to hold Jimmy "Junkie" Pages's head under water till he admitted that Jeff Beck was 10 times his superior, and Rob't Plant? Oh be serious...that hideous falsetto of his reminded me of Frankie "Grease" Valli. STill: a rap version of "Black Dog" is freaking BRILLIANT, as is the rockabilly version of "Livin' Lovin' Maid." Get this CD - and, OK, I'll be "fair," here, I can't wait till some "artists" do the same thing to the Stones...

Excellent interpretations of classic songs. Song versions are much more original than the Encomium album.
