Led Zeppelin gone country…the end of a good thing

Okay, I probably will be criticized for this but I just saw a video for Robert Plant singing with a country music star on CMT. First, you may ask why were you watching CMT? I was at a restaurant, and that’s what they had on. I didn’t even hear the music, but I would recognized that mop of a hairdo anywhere. I knew that he had worked with a new artist to redo a few songs, such as Thank You, etc, but I didn’t realize that this was a country artist. As a big Led Zeppelin fan, I think this is sad. Led Zeppelin is rock and roll not country. Yes, country is the root of rock and roll with Led Zeppelin, but Led Zeppelin is a far cry from country music. Sure, I am sure it sounds fine, and even Paul Anka can redo Smells Like Teen Spirit and Black Hole Sun, but that doesn’t make it right. I must admit though, I did buy Paul Anka’s album just for the novelty of having my favorite songs changed into something entirely almost unrecognizable, yet classy.So, yes this is just a short gripe about something trivial which most people may argue against, but guess what I can say whatever I darn well please. And you can read and agree with it or not, it’s a free country.
