What a week for rock and roll birthdays! We had Elvis, Bowie and Jimmy Page all stacked up in the last couple of days. Did that influence the pick for Sunday Jams? Obviously so. We all read the title, right? Now I love Elvis and Bowie, but I had to go with Page this week and here’s why: Not enough people talk about Jimmy Page and the Yardbirds! It’s all Zeppelin. But, come on. The dude made some great music with the flippin Yardbirds too!
So, I’m going to go with a couple Yardbird tracks and mayhap a song with Led Zeppelin as well. (The rule for Sunday Jams is you can only pick 3 songs. Makes a fella think a little bit) Here’s Jimmy Page on Sunday Jams.
What an absolute jam. right out of the gate. Put the top down on the convertible and drive with this playing loudly. If you don’t move to this? Check your pulse.
Now we had to have a Zep song so why not go with one that Jimmy Page has called his favorite from time to time. Yup. Kashmir. Have a great weekend!
Michael,my music brother from another mother,Thank you for the excellent Sunday Jams featuring the one and only Jimmy Page.
I was glad you put some songs from The Yardbids in there. So many folks just dismiss his work on some great songs. But of course, you have to get the Led out,that goes without saying. I’ve read that Kashmir was his favorite song as well. You can’t go wrong with that choice . A Zep masterpiece. One of my favorites. I always look forward to Sunday Jams and your awesome taste in music. Thanks Michael!
Woohoo! I was super happy to shine a little light on the Yardbirds. They made some killer stuff. If you have ideas for other artists for Sunday Jams, let a brother know! LOL!
