Joe says,
We're a roots band. I guess what people are calling "Americana" fits, 'cept we're Canadian. "Alt-country" also fits, as does "folk" and "acoustic blues". Alec likes to call what we do "the Birth of the Blues". Sounds about right to me, but unfortunately, some folks might think that they're in for a night of Charlie Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the stuff we like to write and play harkens back to a time when folks didn't make as much of a distinction between styles as they do today.
Most folks aren't aware that Maybelle Carter was a fairly competent bottleneck player, so if I told you we were influenced by the Carter Family, would you make the connection? Probably not.
So... Here's some folks that have influenced us in a very major way: Hank Williams, Charlie Poole, Junior Wells, Dwight Diller, George Jones, Dock Boggs, Doc Watson, Doc Holliday, the Stanley Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, the Marx Brothers,Big Walter, Merle Haggard,Stompin' Tom Connors, Muddy Waters, Billy Connolly,Michael Pickett, Harry Manx, Danny Marks, David Wilcox, Morgan Davis, Downchild Blues Band, Carlos Del Junco, Matt Minglewood, Rick Fines, Jenny Whiteley, The Phantoms and Lowell George.

~ Led Zeppelin - Custard Pie
Views: 1939 |  |  |  |  | "Custard Pie" is the first track on English rock band Led Zeppelin's sixth album, Physical Graffiti, released in 1975. The lyrics to the riff-heavy song pays homage to the blues songs of the Robert Johnson era; specifically "Drop Down Mama" by Sleepy John ...More Estes, "Shake 'Em On Down" by Bukka White, "I Want Some Of Your Pie" by Blind Boy Fuller and "Custard Pie Blues" by Brownie McGhee.
The song contains somewhat difficult-to-comprehend lyrics, but, like several other songs on the album, they are full of sexual innuendo. In this case, "Custard Pie" refers to a woman's sexual organs and the song is rife with references to oral sex: "Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice / When you cut it mama, save me a slice", as well as "chewin' a piece of your custard pie".
"Custard Pie" contains a wah-wah solo by guitarist Jimmy Page, which was played through an ARP synthesizer. It also features an electric clavinet played by John Paul Jones and a mouth harp by vocalist Robert Plant. Some observers have pointed out that it displays some similarities in sound to "Whole Lotta Love" from Led Zeppelin II, which was itself heavily influenced by the blues song "You Need Love" written by Willie Dixon.
Despite being rehearsed for Led Zeppelin's 1975 US Tour, this track was never completely played live at Led Zeppelin concerts. However, on 21 May 1977 in Houston, Texas, Robert and Jimmy did very briefly perform Custard Pie during the acoustic set. |

~ Drop Down Mama - "Sleepy" John Estes.
Views: 8118 |  |  |  |  | Here's a record I bought in the 1950's when going through my 'duffel coat, roll-neck sweater, corduroy trousers and sandals' phase. (A real "mouldy fig", as the sharp suited 'modern' jazz fans called us 'trad' fans.)
It is one of the recordings sponsored ...More by "The Jazz Appreciation Society" and features Sleepy John in typical form and accompanied by Hammie Nixon on harmonica.
Born John Adam Estes, to a sharecropper family in Ripley Tennessee on the 25th. Jan. 1904, his life was complicated from the start. One of a family of ten, at the age of six he lost his right eye in a baseball accident. As his father was a guitarist, he grew up with similar interests and made himself cigar-box guitars to play from the early days.
He went totally blind in 1950, and had gained the sobriquet "sleepy" from a chronic blood pressure disorder which led to fits of narcolepsy, which caused him to drop off to sleep without warning, sometimes standing up!
He was "rediscovered" during the blues revival in 1962, after a long and varied career through the 1920's and 30's.
He died on the 5th. June 1977 |

~ Led Zeppelin - Hats Off to (Roy) Harper
Views: 9754 |  |  |  |  | Led Zeppelin - Hats Off to (Roy) Harper
Copyright - 1970 Atlantic Records
"Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" is a song played by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the last track on the album Led Zeppelin III, released in 1970. The track features Jimmy P ...More age playing slide guitar, and Robert Plant's vocals, processed through a tremolo. The song was listed on the album as "Arranged by Charles Obscure," which was a humorous pseudonym for Page.
The song is a medley of fragments of blues songs and lyrics, including "Shake 'Em on Down" by Bukka White and "Lone Wolf Blues" by Oscar Woods. Therefore, the song is both a tribute to contemporary folk singer Roy Harper and the influential American blues singers who recorded in the 1960s.
Roy Harper is a folk singer from England whom Jimmy Page met at the Bath Festival in 1970. He became close friends of the band, who invited him to perform as the opening act on some later Led Zeppelin concert tours. In 1971, Page played on Harper's album Storm#@!&, appearing in the credits under the pseudonym "S. Flavius Mercurius." Harper would go on to perform the lead vocals on Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar", from 1975's Wish You Were Here. In 1985, Page recorded an album with Harper called Whatever Happened to Jugula?.
"Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" begins with a strange audio snippet from the sessions which is quickly introduced and then faded out again, featuring Plant's voice and Page's slide guitar in tandem.
An alternate studio outtake of the track in the same style and similar instrumentation is available on some Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. Likely from the same recording session as the official release, it features lyrics from the songs "Feel So Bad," (recorded by Otis Rush and Elvis Presley), Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues" & "32-20 Blues", Sleepy John Estes' "Diving Duck Blues", Bukka White's "Fixin' To Die", and Elvis' "That Alright Mama." These songs were frequently performed in medley by the band at Led Zeppelin concerts during "How Many More Times" and, later, "Whole Lotta Love." Thus, this outtake perhaps gives insight into the inspiration for the track, a desire to lay down an acoustic, studio take of a staple of their live performances. However, Led Zeppelin never performed "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" live in concert.
Lyrics:
When I done quit hollerin' baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on down
Get my babe, won't be late, You know by that I mean seconds late
Ah, must I holler, Must I shake 'em on down,
Well I've been mistreated, babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down.
Well I ain't no monkey. I can't climb no tree,
No brown skin woman gonna make no monkey out of me,
I ain't no monkey, Sure can't climb no tree,
I been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down,
Well I've been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down.
Listen mama, Put on your mornin' gown'
Put in your nightshirt Mama we gonna shake 'em down
Must I holler? Must I shake 'em on down?
Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill,
If that don't get her, Sure my shot, shot, shot-gun will,
Yeah, I gave my baby a twenty dollar bill,
If that don't get that woman, I'm sure my shot-gun will. |

~ Led Zeppelin - The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair
Views: 3966 |  |  |  |  | Led Zeppelin - The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair
Copyright - 1997 Atlantic Records
"The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair" is a song performed by English rock band Led Zeppelin and written by Sleepy John Estes. It was recorded by t ...More he BBC on June 16, 1969 for Chris Grant's Tasty Pop Sundae show during the band's U.K. Tour of Summer 1969, being broadcast on June 22, 1969. The song eventually found its way onto the Led Zeppelin album BBC Sessions, released in 1997. This is the only known performance of the song by the band, as no other audio do#@!&ent has been unearthed of it being performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.
The guitar riff played by Jimmy Page that drives this song is very similar to Bobby Parker's 1961 song "Watch Your Step," which charted in the US and the UK. It is also very similar to that played by Page on the later Led Zeppelin track "Moby Dick", released in October 1969 on the album Led Zeppelin II. |
