Anne Bredon is another one I did not know about, and I have been playing my rather poor version of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You since I was in high school! Glad to hear that Zep eventually paid royalties on the composition.
Joan Baez – "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" (1962)
I did not even know about the Joan Baez version that inspired Led Zeppelin, and I own the album Joan Baez in Concert where it appears. In all fairness to me, however, her version is quite different from the one Led Zeppelin came up with. It does have it's charms, though.
Im kinda all over the place musically.
I tend to lean toward the heavier side, but mostly I just really love musical and instrumental proficiency almost regardless of genre.
Me too. Musically, I am both gourmet and gourmand.
Once time, a friend explained that I'm a musical slut! When I frowned, he said, "Yeah. You just like it all!." And that's kinda true. Most of the time, I pose as some sort of self-styled musical elitist, but occasionally I get exposed, when I fall in love with the latest cheesy pop tune.
It took me many years to admit that cheesy pop can be great.
"Isolation" performed by Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck
Fresh off his defamation trial in Virginia, Johnny Depp joined Jeff Beck on stage two nights ago in Sheffield to deliver this credible performance of a classic John Lennon.composition. The audience recording (made on a cell phone) is poor, but the music is there. Glad to see Johnny getting back on his feet, even if he does play with his guitar slung way too low!.
[Edited on 2022-Jul-27: YouTube blocked the audience recording, so I have replaced it with the official version that was released in May of 2021. It is the same video I posted below in post #1356.]
Isolation is one of the better compositions from Lennon's first solo album with the Plastic Ono Band.
Manhattan Transfer is a cool group, but I’m still partial to the group that inspired Manhattan Transfer, and The Real Group, and a lot of other imitators……Lambert Hendricks and Ross. Annie Ross died just a few years ago, and Dave Lambert died quite a while ago, but Jon Hendricks is still alive and kickin’. Here’s a sample of the trio performing Airegin live on stage.
