Harry P. Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 Hey Harry,have you listened to anything from The Band Perry.They are a little like LBT in that they are not traditional country and have a good sound.And a nice looking blonde!! :wub: Kimberly Perry!! Some of thier songs are "Better dig two","If I die young""Done". Check them out!!! I just looked them up on youtube. It turns out I have heard them before! I know the song "If I Die Young," I just didn't realize who it was. Also liked several of their other songs. You're right, they are similar to LBT in their sound. But for me, I prefer LBT's Kimberly over TBP's Kimberly...
Nxr Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4COiiDXkgBM Try this, this is nujabes with some instrumentals. The mix of jazz influence is very reflected here.

The mix of jazz influence is very reflected here. It's the same seven notes repeated over and over and over and over again. It's 10 seconds of music stretched out to 3:40...
Nxr Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Well at least i got you to give a try and thank you for that. It goes good in a Manhattan lounge after a few drinks
Harry P. Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 ok, here's something very weird I found after I clicked on the link that Nxr posted. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss doing "Black Dog" in a very un-Zep way! Not sure what to make of it...
Nxr Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I liked that song you posted, played it over a few times actually had a very relaxed mood to it. Okay since i realize you dont like much electronic production or hip hop, i present you with this song! By far my favorite Opeth track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2frjwvDQg5I Edited November 18, 2013 by Nxr

JollySipper Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Mrs. Krauss and Plant did do some pretty good songs, though.... maybe not the version of "Black Dog" that is posted, but some of their stuff was okay.... I think that Page has such a tight rein on not only the Led Zeppelin name and their songs, but on their very sound, that it makes it difficult for cover bands to do a good job......

Well, you can't really call Robert Plant a Zeppelin "cover band!" I mean, he was sort of in the band! I knew he collaborated with Alison Krauss, and I know she's a country/bluegrass sort of artist, so I'm not surprised that their version of "Black Dog" is a little, um... different than the original! Not a fan, though. Points to Plant for branching out and trying new things, but to me he will always be the voice of Zeppelin, not some sort of English bluegrass guy!
JollySipper Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Yea, Harry, I guess I was talking about two things at once (you caught me being schizoid, didn't you ) However, Zeppelin has had more covers of their music done than any other band, I think. There is even a series called "Pickin' On..." and they do Zep's music in the Bluegrass flavor (which I'm sure you would enjoy... ) I just wish Rdio.com would release their music for full streaming. Now it's preview only... and to hear any music by them you have to listen to covers.....
Harry P. Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 However, Zeppelin has had more covers of their music done than any other band, I think. Do you know that for a fact? I would have guessed it would be the Beatles.

I would have guessed it would be the Beatles. You'll get a different story depending on where you look, but most of what I've seen points to The Beatles. Most covered song is either "Yesterday" or, surprisingly, "Eleanor Rigby." http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/the-10-most-covered-songs-1052165.html
Harry P. Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Geez, Skip... quite a few unexpected songs on that list. I have to wonder how accurate it is.
