The concept of taking 12 celebrated numbers from the Led Zeppelin songbook and reworking them sans vocals works wonders on a new CD titled Get The Led Out! - Led Zeppelin Salute.
The album is credited to producer-guitarist Brian Tarquin, who assembled a sweeping array of classic Zeppelin covers as performed by some of rock's cutting-edge guitar stars. Leslie West and Randy Coven visited Tarquin's New York Jungle Room Studios to lay down parts on a new Moby Dick, while James Ryan cut an instrumental Black Dog at his studio in Australia. Martin Winch recorded his version of Kashmir in New Zealand, while Hal Lindes recorded Babe I'm Gonna Leave You at his Venice Beach studio. Such is the international appeal of Led Zeppelin.
As a bonus for Zeppelin fans, Get The Led Out! features four vintage bonus cuts - three from 1970 with Jimmy Page, Daniel Edwards, John Bonham and singer David "Lord" Sutch and one from '68 with John Paul Jones and singer Keith de Groot - presenting an interesting twist to this classic CD tribute.

1. Whole Lotta Love - Chris Mahoney
