The guitarist was given the rights to the band along with all of their concert obligations. He enlisted the help of John Paul Jones. Originally Page and Jones wanted B.J. Wilson and Terry Reid to join them. But they were already working with other bands and were unavailable. Reid suggested a man by the name of Robert Plant and Plant

Jimmy Page was born on January 9th, 1944 in Heston, England as James Patrick Page. He admired guitarist James Burton, a known studio musician who backed for Elvis. “Jimmy Page; ethereal, effeminate, pale and frail, played physically melodic guitar, bowing at times augmenting it with electronic devices completely energizing the peak of the ensembles lead sound.” “He blessed the group with a unique understanding of the guitar, and the recording studio. He had a reason for every little distortion he made” (Abel, 555).

7. “Going to California” - An acoustic folk song. When you hear Plant singing, he sounds like he's facing the fact the 60s were over. “Going to California” may be the weakest song on Led Zeppelin IV, but look what it has for competition.

This is not the typical Led Zeppelin album. But then again, what is typical for them? Led Zeppelin is a very diverse musical group, with influences from all sorts of genres. So this is an ideal representation of Zeppelin. Their music compacted the music ideas of a whole era. “In the evening,” as usual, they open with a hard rocking tune, in tradition. Then we are on to “South Bound Saurez,” it shows good piano work, nice catchy guitar rift, and as always the divine drum work of John Bonham. “Fool in the Rain,” is in my opinion, the best track. It has a variety of exotic percussion instruments in the middle section. Then the album has a few more songs that I will spare myself the hurt of dishonoring my beloved Led Zepplin and just say that they are “interesting.” Next we find that they still have a few more songs worth hearing: “All My Love” and “I’m Gonna Crawl.” “All My Love” has nice orchestral work, it is actually a very pretty song. At the end we have “I’m Gonna Crawl,” it has a very depressing melody but it is a fitting end to the tragic end of this bands magnificent career. Hearing the desperation and depression in Robert Plants voice you almost think he knows of the tragic events in the near future.

“Coda” was released after John Bonhams death on November 19th, 1982. It is a collection of previous studio recordings. The surviving band members chose not to record anymore after his death.

1. “Black Dog” - Zeppelin at their loud, macho, bombastic best. This is trademark Zeppelin song with heavy riffs then space followed by another heavy riff then another space. Rarely do you hear a hard rock band like Zeppelin embrace the absence between notes. By the way, the guitar solo is not to be missed.
