I came across this playing on a restaurant's PA whilst on Captiva Island, a sleepy island on the SW coast of Florida. I noticed some fiddles vaguely playing what sounded like Zeppelin. The more obvious covers don't work as well as the less obvious. If anyone wants the definitive Stairway to Heaven cover, the version here isn't a patch on Dread Zepplin's (reggage tinged with Elvis impersonator singing - sublime). If you like Zeppelin and think washboard & fiddle may work, this is for you.

I usually think this type of "tribute" is cheesy. Not so with Pickin' on Zeppelin. Perhaps because Bluegrass is so far from the original heavy rock, it works. I don't know. It does work however, and is very enjoyable. Great arrangements, terrific playing make this a superb facsimile of "Led Zeppelin Light".

Smooth transition!

I am truly a Zeppelin enthusiast and a bluegrass fan as well, so I really like this collection! LZ's music is very folksy and therefore not a far cry from bluegrass, so the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree. I don't think this would be offensive at all to LZ purists... in fact I think it shows that the melodies can stand alone beautifully when interpreted in a different way.

Better than You Would Think -- In Fact, it's Really Cool!

The second best thing about this CD is you can play it for your friends and ask them to "name that tune." Since the tune doesn't match the style, it totally drives people nuts! It's hilarious to watch people bang their heads around tring to figure out D'yer Maker or The Song Remains the Same.
But the best thing about Pickin' on Zeppelin is the music. While at rare times it can sound a little like glorified Muzak, the arrangements and the musicianship are second to none. This record is a lot of fun, and goes way beyond being a novelty because it sounds so great, and was obviously a labor of love. Pick it up ... you should really enjoy it.

The best Zeppelin Tribute albumn I have ever heard
5 Nov 2001
Format:Audio CD
This is the best tribute to the music of the great Led Zeppelin I have ever heard. The bluegrass arrangements of these songs are fantastic. These guys are great musicians. I highly recommend this CD to any Zeppelin fan.I was a bit skeptical when I first bought this CD but after one listening I was amazed and loved it.
This makes the Encominium CD trivial.(I hated that tribute)Give this one a try.
