Blues Artists
Led Zeppelin was one of the greatest rock bands of all time. We first discovered Led Zeppelin in 1970, when we were very young, and we’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin ever since.
This is a band which exposed a new, and very large, audience to blues classics, including I Can’t Quit You Baby (Otis Rush), Gallows Pole (Leadbelly), When The Levee Breaks (Memphis Minnie), In My Time Of Dying (Blind Willie Johnson)
