My Cover of Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

[PavlovsCat]

The first rock record album I ever purchased was at 5 years old. It was Led Zeppelin III. Granted, Kashmir isn't on that album, but Kashmir is one of my all-time favorite rock songs and the one Zeppelin song that my wife and kids love, so I wanted to do a cover of it.  There's no way I could ever come close to the greatness of the original and I didn't feel like imitating John Bonham -- because, hey, no one could ever equal or do better than what he or any other member of Zeppelin did with this song, certainly not me -- so I really had fun with doing some very different things with it. I lost track of the click during the piano part, but hopefully you can look beyond that.

Thanks. Yesterday I did another mix that brought up some different parts and I added a new drum part I thought was superior-- and I put the vocal through Melodyne,  but something really strange happened with Melodyne. Anyhow, so I'm going to redo some of the vocals,  but the other version I have is far better than this one. Hopefully. I can finish it up by the weekend. As usual, the most challenging part of doing these recordings are the vocals.

This is my favorite kind of cover...where you put your own stamp on it.  I had never understood the lyrics until now.  good job.
