Third album for that legendary band united in 1967, next to the New-Yardbirds flop. Leader members Jimmy Page/Robert Plant; initially: Strings/lyrism, renew deep south-blues stuff into new genre : experimental-blasting Rock-Blues-boom ! After two successful, stannic first albums, comes that one more soulful; return-to-basics acoustic/electric stuff, with long guitar cries and corrosive natural/artificial sound-effects ! One could name «immigrant song»; «Since i've been loving you» as Zep classics just before «Stairway to heaven» was on the line coming on fourth label album, their greatest song and musicien-must-known one, reaching «Whole-lotta-love» in popularity !! Nevertheless; even if Led Zeppelin 3 makes a turning-point in band musical orientation to embrase less evident exits definately after 71's Fourth. And last bluesy so-called one for the purist remembering brittain invasion with Blues bands alike John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and later Peter Green's Fleetwood Mack or Rod Stewart Small Faces/Faces until prog-Rock/Glam big crowdy In-the-Air concerts after Woodstock-Isle-of-Wight experiences ! So, for everyone's interest, at the dawn of 1970, music took a virage for good passing from Country-harvest acoustic sound, to electric and electronic-more-artificial-cold than warm intimist Blues-voices, in more closed spaces. For myself (I'm 43), this album remains in-between for group orientation to less successful albums with years (commercially too); excepting maybe «Physical Graphities» in 1975, and Zep last Album : «In through the out door» before death by overdose of member John bonham in 1980. The group, then over; still today sells for millions of nostalgics, and neophytes; the young and old can rediscovers these immortel tense/less tensive musics over more than a decade of recordings and touring, and members works afterward with reunions, or as soloist protagonist-creator story tellers....with Encores, more and more; increasing with years and such rich and cultural success....for all !!

LED ZEPPELIN - III _ One of the big groups of the 1970's the key word "band" didn't exist just yet they were aka as "Groups" back in that era. On this title is one of the famous song aka "Immigrant Song" which should been played and made longer in time. Here is all the original members from Plant to Bonham. Another good long blues-rock song is: "Since I've Been Loving You." and one more being my fav..."Bron-Y-Aur Stomp." The rest of the songs are pretty good. 💯👍🏻⭐

I just finished watching Ken Burns's 19-hour "The Vietnam War" on PBS, but I'm wondering why they played (one of my favorites) "Kashmir" as their camera panned over the Vietnamese rice paddies? . Hey, who cares?!! Far out!!! . The West Allis Kid

I believe that the initial critical reviews for Led Zepplin III were not very good, and compared to the monster hits in Led Zepplin IV...I would have to say that I agree, initially. But after listening to the album five times in a row it kind of gets to you. Not a bad album by any means but it takes getting used to. It shows Page and Plant's expanding musical range. Side one is the weaker of two sides, with the pulse pounding "Immigrant Song" opening it, then it sort of "falls down" to a more mellower and slower "rythm and bluesy" pace. I found side two to be the highlight of the album with the beautiful "That's the Way" and the folk-traditional "Gallows Pole" to be gems Definitiely a must for the Led Zepplin fan!
