RE: Steemit Open Mic WEEK 71, LED ZEPPELIN, Hats Off To Roy Harper, Cover song, LIVE w/Vocals/ Lap Style Guitar
Nice one, buds!
I'm a fellow lapsteel slide guitar player (you should check out my lappy called the 'Violap' which is co-designed by Ben Harper -
it's incredible -you'll love it - I play it in my first ever Steemit post)
Gotta love Led Zeppelin and Roy Harper is one of my favourite artists too. If you don't know his music, check out the album Stormcock - Jimmy Page plays on a track called, "That Same Old Rock" which is a brilliant, epic 12 minute piece. (If you know his music already, all good)
Anyway, I'm new around here so nice to meet you. Just followed you and upvoted...
:)
Thanks for reaching out! And thanks for the info on Stormcock I have not heard that yet. Co-designed by Ben Harper!?!? I def will head over to your page and check the Violap out.
Yes do check it out! She's a beautiful instrument!
Roy Harper & Jimmy Page did a lot of recording together. Their stuff on Roy's albums is sublime, but in the 80's they did an entire album together. Unfortunately, it was too influenced by some of the cliche 80's sounds and isn't their best work, imo. But as I said, their acoustic work on Roy's albums in the 70's is sublime!
I'll def check out Roy's Work and Jimmy's and I agree with your assessment of the cliche 80s stuff - they were kinda plagued by that post Zep. Can't wait to peruse your page!
