First time listening to this band, sounds a lot like the 90's but I'm liking it a lot!

Having not listened to this album in quite some time, I found myself in a particularly nostalgic mood tonight and decided to revisit this offering from Coverdale and Page. Led Snake? Yes... and no. I find it odd that critics would attack Page for being... Jimmy Page. What's he supposed to do? Play, or write, like someone else?
I loved this album when it came out and now, some 16 years after its release, I feel it holds up quite well. Pride & Joy just sucks you in with its acoustic guitars and dulcimers and the radio-friendly way that David sings it. Shake My Tree comes off sounding like something Robert Johnson would have written had he been privy to a Les Paul and a Marshall stack.
Over Now is full of massive guitars... some are distorted and angry, others are light and airy, yet it all comes together. Easy Does It is another in the Jimmy Page Guitar Army catalog that just reverberates through your speakers while David sings of ever lasting and true love.
Absolution Blues is still a fun, kicking song and shows that nobody can write riffs the way Jimmy Page does. Take Me For A Little While is another epic in the Zeppelin mold and Page's playing, and writing, are on full display in all their glory here.
A fantastic album and such a shame that they played just seven shows in Japan to support this effort.
It's funny because I've been listening to some songs from this album too in the past 2 days. I haven't listened to whole post-zeppelin catalog of Page, Plant or Jones but I think that Jimmy is just great on this one. It's not a great record but it's a must for any serious LZ fan on the strength of Jimmy's guitar work alone.

Pink Floyd are one of the early bands I remember listening to, especially the "Wish You Were Here" album. One thing I never understood though was the fascination with Syd Barrett, sure he's a good musician and his life was shrouded in mystery, to me the remaining members along with Gilmour created Pink Floyd's best work, in my opinion anyway.

I've been listening to Mastodon for the last couple of weeks and I've been loving it!
I don't usually listen to metal besides some Metallica occasionally, Kyuss or QOTSA that aren't exactly metal but have some elements I think. It was hard to assimilate at first all the loud, fast and somehow dark (because of the unusual scales used perhaps?) music that it is metal, again, because in my teenage years I used to listen to nu-metal bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, P.O.D. and the likes, I loved the anger and energy that fueled that kind of music, but grew tired and bore of it as I got older and discovered other bands from other genres and eras.
But I gotta say I'm rediscovering the genre trough Mastodon, what I like about them is the progressive elements and high level of talent that they have as musicians, I'll certainly keep listening to them.

I've not heard of Paulo but I liked what you posted. I love the song "Route 66"
Thanks, he's not well known besides here in Portugal and France. Here's his myspace.
Oh, by the way he does play kazoo on some songs.
His music isn't exactly blues its more a kind of one-man-band blues mixed with rockabilly I guess.
Anyway here's a clip of a Portuguese guitarist, Rui Veloso, playing with B.B. King:

Anyone into the "one man bands" like Jesse Fuller and Duster Bennett? It's primitive and it's damn good!
Check out Duster's debut album, Smiling Like I'm Happy.
There are many albums to recomend by Jesse Fuller, one of them are Jazz, Folk Songs, Spirituals & Blues from 1958.
San Franscisco Bay Blues (Live)
(The songs I choose is not necessarily from the albums I recomended as youtube can't provide everything
)Since you mention "one man bands" here's one (and only I guess) from my country who is actually my avatar at the moment.
Legendary Tiger Man (he's real name is Paulo Furtado)
It's basically a combination of blues and 50's rock n' roll. Hope you like it.
