"Jason Bonham is the son of the late John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. On this CD the band does "cover tunes" of Led Zeppelin. They do an excellent job. If you like Led Zeppelin then you will like this CD. In fact, sometimes instead of playing a Zep CD I will play this CD instead. The singer even sounds a lot like Robert Plant. The guitarist definitely has Jimmy Page's chops down pat ALTHOUGH he does seem to have his own slight variations on Jimmy's licks. Anyway, they ALL do a really good job on ALL of the tunes. It seems that their intent was to play the tunes as close to the originals as possible. The final track on this CD starts out with an excellent rendition of "Whole Lotta Love" BUT then finally weaves in a medley of other Zep tunes. There is NOT one single "ho-hum" tune on the entire CD - ALL the tracks are good. In conclusion, if you like Led Zeppelin then buy this CD - you will love it."

A fitting introduction to...another great band.

"This is an excellent ,even if indirect,intro(and tribute)to the great works of Led Zeppelin,especially for those not so familiar with their music.Also the powerful and faithful renditions complement the musicians involved-Jason Bonham is no stranger to cloning his father's band style,with his previous outfit,Bonham."

Not as good as zep but still awsome

"This CD is very heavy on the drums but the vocals are lacking much, because he dosn't compare to Robert Plant. Guitarist isn't bad, niether is the bassist, but jason bonham is the best drummer alive! It is one of the better Led Zeppelin tributes that I have heard."
