Music reviews of Led Zeppelin III
Music Review: Different Led Zep Release
Rating: 5 Stars
This release is a very different from earlier releases by Led Zeppelin. The first side is very heavy, with one of the brilliant vocal performances by Robert Plant on "Immigrant Song", that is possibly his best work. The next cut, "Friends" features an unusual tuning with Indian scale influences. "Celebration Day" is an unusual time signature starts with a sliding guitar riff. "Since I've Been Loving You" is a slow blues number that showcases Page's and Plant's blues roots. "Out On the Tiles" is a classic Zep song, with power guitar chords set against strong drumming and a tight snare. What was originally released as the second side of the vinyl allowed a different view of the heavy metal pioneers. "Gallows Pole" had hurdy gurdy, acoustic guitar, tabla drums and an ironic tale of barter. The following song "Tangerine" is a lovely acoustic number with harmonies that carry the chorus. "That's the Way" is another stripped down acoustic number with more layered choral harmonies. "Hats Off to Roy Harper" is the closer, an anthem to a friend and musical footnote, famous for singing lead on the Pink Floyd cut, "Have a Cigar". Unusual looped vocals, compressed effects and sliding dobro make this one of the more interesting Zep takes on standard blues changes. In all, this is a different release, which showed the acoustic side of a previously metal band.
Description of Led Zeppelin III
Japanese remastered reissue of 1970 album, packaged in a limited edition miniature LP gatefold sleeve with original die-cut album artwork. 10 tracks. Warner. 2003.After plundering the Yardbirds' legacy and Willie Dixon (among others) for their blues-riff-heavy first two albums, Jimmy Page and company surprised many listeners with the strong acoustic/folk sensibility displayed on III. Page aficionados shouldn't have been caught off guard; the guitarist had toyed with similar sensibilities and modalities during his brief tenure with the Yardbirds (most notably "White Summer" from the Little Games album). Ever the creative thieves, Zep kick off the album by nicking the riff from "Bali Ha'i" no less, with Robert Plant wailing it to punctuate the thundering FM warhorse "Immigrant Song." Even other electric rockers like "Celebration Day" and "Out on the Tiles" have an inventive, offbeat musicality to them that suggest the band was already wary of stereotyping. But it's the decidedly mellower acoustic groove of the album's latter half that's the news here, from the graceful beauty of "That's the Way" and "Tangerine" to the raw, folksy charm of "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp," "Hats Off (to Roy Harper)," and the traditional "Gallows Pole." --Jerry McCulley
