Dagens raritet XIV

Jack Holmes - The Abobe Ground Sound of Jake Holmes, Tower ST 5079, US, 1967. Avbildad i Pokoras 8001 Record Collector Dreams med 1 rating disc. 

En singer song writer-platta från New York's Greenwich Village folk scene med en hel del kvaliteter. Mest känd är skivan för att hysa originalet av Dazed and Confused. Jack Holmes är inte krediterad som låtskrivare på Zeppelins första skiva, men om jag minns rätt fick han så småningom upprättelse.

Jag hittade detta på nätet: The Yardbirds' Jim McCarty remembers: "We played with Jake in New York and I was struck by the atmosphere of 'Dazed and Confused.' I went down to Greenwich Village and bought his album and we decided to do a version. We worked it out together with Jimmy contributing the guitar riffs in the middle. Don't you think he's the riff-master?". The Yardbirds' Jimmy Page buys the album that same day and the song would soon appear on the Yardbirds' setlist.
