Led Zeppelin II is often cited as one of the greatest and most important albums ever recorded. Led Zeppelin songs that didnt make it: Tea For One- Presence, Ozone Baby - Coda, Travelling Riverside Blues - Remasters, Bonzos Montreux - Coda, Candy Store Rock - Presence, Hats Off To (Roy) Harper - Led Zeppelin III, Darlene - Coda, Were Gona Groove - Coda, Something Else - BBC, Walters Walk - Coda, The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy. If theyd never done anything else, Led Zeppelin would be enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for this 1971 song alone. In Lewis’ book, he notes that the album knocked Abbey Road off the number one spot twice. Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin’s music while Plant generally supplied the lyrics. Led Zeppelin II was a commercial and critical success and it was also the band’s first number one album. In other words, some of the material came out of rehearsing for the next tour and getting new material together. Players are transported back to Led Zeppelin’s early days and tour the world from 1968-1980. “Thank You,” “The Lemon Song,” and “Moby Dick” were overdubbed on tour and the mixing of “Whole Lotta Love” and “Heartbreaker” was done on tour. The entire album’s production credit went to guitarist Jimmy Page, and it was also the first album to be engineered by Eddie Kramer.Īccording to music historian Dave Lewis in his 1990 book Led Zeppelin: A Celebration, several of the tracks that were recorded were completely improvised and were recorded live in different studios. It features six original songs, while “Whole Lotta Love”, “The Lemon Song”, and “Bring It On Home” interpolates songs by Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson and Chester Burnett. The album was recorded both in North America and the United Kingdom between January and August 1969, with the songs being written in between Led Zeppelin’s tour dates. Possibly the funkiest Zep track: Jones (inspired by Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition') rocks a clavinet and Page a wah-wah, and they ride Bonzo's proto-disco beat. Released the same year as their debut, Led Zeppelin II offered a new sound, which fuses psychedelia and blues with the “blueprint for all the heavy metal bands that followed”. Weve also of course got the classics like Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song and Stairway to Heaven which Im sure you. Led Zeppelin II is the second studio album released by Led Zeppelin.
