The Jewel Case: The DNA Of Led Zeppelin (06.21.18)

This week we're examining the musical DNA of Led Zeppelin. Led Zep are one of the big names on Rock Mountain and, over the course of their career, they interpreted a fair share of other artists' music, sometimes legitimately credited, sometimes...er...not so much. We'll spin the original versions of songs that found their way into the Zeppelin catalog one way or another and, in many cases, spilling some juicy details. LOTS of great Blues, Folk, and early Rock & Roll in this one, friends, and you don't have to be a Led Zeppelin fan to dig it. But first...
