"I wish I could give this more stars, but if you're a fan of the band (and I am!), this CD pales in comparison to the band's earlier work. The band has mostly broken up, and lead singer Tortelvis (with a couple of original band members) goes through some "classics" without the great sound and fun the original band created. It all just sounds too weak, and feels like a quickie album produced for some extra cash. This CD shows the band as the novelty act they never wanted to become. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun album... but if you're not familiar with Dread Zep, stick with Un-Led-Ed or 5,000,000... Now those are classics!"
Typical fantastic output from D Z

"Another fine example of the unlimited talent of George Elvis and the boys of Dread Zep. If you enjoy music of the 60s and 70s, you will have a ball listening to The Fun Sessions. A must have, for all of us fossilized hippies."
Buy this CD just for the version of Freebird.

"It's not one of the bands best work, but this cd is worth owning"
Let's get real gone!

"The original concept for Dread Zeppelin was a reggae band playing Led Zeppelin songs, with an Elvis impersonator as the singer. Sounds goofy, but it actually worked. By the time this particular album was recorded, most of the original band members had left the group, including Jah Paul Jo, who was the "brains" behind the group. The only original members still in the group at the time of this album were Tortelvis and Butt-Boy. They had already covered most of Led Zeppelin's songs, so on this album they played other classic rock songs of the late-'60s and early-'70s. There is one original novelty song, "BBWAGS", which stands for "Butt-Boy's wearing a girl's shirt". This is a fairly amusing album, but it can't compare to their earlier albums."
