The Love That I Found Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The Blues is so interwoven into the fabric of Zeppelin's makeup that almost every one of their songs is eligible for this. But I've chosen the following as the songs that may be used for this project. The idea is to make the "perfect" single disc blues album for Zeppelin from all officially released tracks (the likes of Travelling Riverside Blues and the newly released Key To The Highway / Trouble In Mind are eligible). Here is the list of the songs you are allowed to play with... You Shook Me I Can't Quit You Baby I Can't Quit You Baby (1970 Royal Albert Hall) Travelling Riverside Blues The Lemon Song Bring It On Home Since I've Been Loving You Hats Off To (Roy) Harper Key To The Highway / Trouble In Mind When The Levee Breaks Custard Pie Nobody's Fault But Mine Tea For One I'm Gonna Crawl Here is my attempt at condensing the above into the perfect Zeppelin blues album... SIDE ONE Travelling Riverside Blues I Can't Quit You Baby (1970 Royal Albert Hall) Bring It On Home Hats Off To (Roy) Harper SIDE TWO Since I've Been Loving You I'm Gonna Crawl When The Levee Breaks I might be the only one willing to put "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper" on an album! LOL. I seem to be one of the lone few who likes the track. Have fun sequencing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. I seem to be one of the lone few who likes the track. Have fun sequencing! You are not alone - I love Hats Off To (Roy) Harper... playing within your boundaries, here would be my album: Side 1: Nobody's Fault But Mine The Lemon Song I Can't Quit You Baby (RAH 1970) When The Levee Breaks Side 2: Hats Off To (Roy) Harper Custard Pie You Shook Me Tea For One Edit: Can't, for the life of me, understand how In My Time Of Dying didn't make your list of choices. If it had, I would remove You Shook Me and place In My Time in its spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 In My Time of Dying is a bad miss from your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Love That I Found Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 In My Time Of Dying never struck me as a blues track per se. I think of it as more of a "slide guitar epic".I suppose it does have some elements. As mentioned in the original post, I think nearly every Zeppelin track could qualify as blues, depending on how far you want to stretch the definition. Curiously, In My Time Of Dying is one of Zeppelin's tracks that I have a harder time getting into. It's probably my least favorite song off Graffiti.

Keys to the Highway / Trouble in Mind - unreleased until Companion Disk 2014 Play It Loud! Since nobody said anything about a "bonus disc" I feel cheated! So my bonus disc would have to include Don't Leave Me This Way from the Coverdale/Page album. There's a great clip on You Tube of them and David showing Jimmy this song... God I wish they would re-release that album with all the tracks not included on the album and a DVD of them working together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this one! My change would be to the bonus disk. I would make my bonus disk all of the improv stuff they did live. Might be veering from the "pure blues" concept but hey its a bonus disk! Bonus Disk 1. For Your Love 2. Blueberry Hill 3. Boogie Mama 4. Let's Have a Party 5. Hello Mary Lou 6. Heartbreak Hotel 7. Going Down Slow 8. As Long as I Have You 9.

nirvana Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 One of Jimmy's finest solo studio efforts with the blues is from his Out rider album - Prison Blues. His guitar work is blistering in a true electric blues sense. Reminds me of Buddy Guy. The vocals are excellent although I forget the vocalist name right now. But he delivers big time! Great song all around and Jimmy could have continued a nice solo career with this style of playing. But alas, no he never reached this blues height again. Not counting Zeppelin stuff of course!

The singer on Prison Blues is Chris Farlowe, who also provided the vocals on Death Wish II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 This is going to be very very hard, but I'm going to give it a go: My Led Zeppelin Blues CD : 1. In My Time of Dying 2. Since I've Been Loving You 3. The Lemon Song 4. Bring It On Home 5. You Shook Me 6. Tea For One 7. Nobody's Fault But Mine 8. Whole Lotta Love*** 9. When The Levee Breaks 10. Travelling River Side Blues 11. Key To The Highway / Trouble In Mind 12. (Hats off) To Roy Harper ***To me "Whole Lotta Love" is a Blues song since it is rather loosely based on Willie Dixon's "You Need Love". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

price.pittsburgh Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 In My Time of Dying is a bad miss from your list. Amen. It a way bad miss. lol I couldn't believe it was overlooked, even if only by mistake. It just happens to be what I believe is their greatest epic.

The Rover Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Personally, I find the 1973 SIBLY extremely Superior to the studio version. I can't imagine ever favoring the studio over the live version. (I also feel that way about Kashnir, TSRTS, The Ocean, No Quarter, and OTHAFA.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've done this before, some years back, I'm surprised Zep hasn't released an all-Blues collection. Here was my track listing: 1. Traveling Riverside Blues 2. I Can't Quit You 3. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp 4. Since I've Been Loving You 5. For Your Life 6. When The Levee Breaks 7. In My Time Of Dying 8. The Lemon Song 9. You Shook Me 10. Boogie With Stu 11. Hat's Off To Roy Harper 12. Bring It On Home 13. I'm Gonna Crawl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Interesting to note that the only album without a blues tune is Houses of the Holy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In My Time of Dying isn't just, IMO, the best track on PG, it's my all time favorite Zep song. What Jimmy does to that song is the perfect example of making a song your own.
