![]() In "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", a country music-inflected hoedown, singer Robert Plant waxes lyrically about walking in the woods with his blue-eyed Merle dog named Strider. When the song appeared on the 2003 DVD, it was spelled correctly both on the back cover of the set and the DVD's menu, although without the hyphens ("Bron Yr Aur Stomp"), and on the live album How the West Was Won it was spelled "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp". This error can be contrasted to another Led Zeppelin track, "Bron-Yr-Aur," a two-minute instrumental featured on their later album Physical Graffiti, which was spelled correctly. The song's title was misspelled on the album cover during initial printing it should read "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp". The cottage had no electricity or running water, but the change of scenery provided inspiration for many of the songs on the album, including "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp". Bron-Yr-Aur means "golden breast" or "breast of gold" in Welsh, as in a hillside of gold. The song is named after Bron-Yr-Aur, a house in Gwynedd, Wales, where the members of Led Zeppelin retreated in 1970 to write much of Led Zeppelin III after having completed a grueling concert tour of the United States. Jennings Farm is the name of the property in which the Plant family stayed in the early 1970s. Led Zeppelin also recorded the song as an electric instrumental, "Jennings Farm Blues", which later surfaced as a studio out-take on a number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. Jimmy Page's 1971 Martin D-28 guitar, in this song, is tuned to open G. Bassist John Paul Jones played an acoustic five-string fretless bass. It was finished off at Island, London and Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennessee.ĭrummer John Bonham played spoons and castanets on the recording. It was later recorded at Headley Grange in 1970, using a mobile studio belonging to the Rolling Stones. John Paul Jones also received a writing credit for the song. just thought my fellow led heads would find it interesting.Jimmy Page and Robert Plant constructed the song in 1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales where they stayed after completing a gruelling concert tour of the United States. its a remake of that song but with a lot of original stuff in it so its all zeppelin's. ![]() the intro was lifted note for note by jimmy but everything else is original. ![]() It is based on"waggoners lad" by bert jansch and some other dude. ![]() He later worked the melody to Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp. I recall that Jimmy wasn't satisfied with the results: in fact he went through lot of trouble and pain to get the thing work and he complained about it during the rehearsals and takes. But yeah, it would be no wonder if the tuning is a dropped d or a double dropped d.ĥ. i have no idea? What i heard in the beginning of the final mastertake of JFB Page plays some natural harmonics of EADGBE's DGE. I didn't know it it's the working name at all or what's the history behind it.Ĥ. Uh, to make a song which uses multiple overlays in a song, so that there could be, you know, a cacophony of guitars in the song? The very same thing we finally see at the HOTH - album's TSRTS.ģ. Pretty much the reverse that what happened to The Rover.Ģ. No, at the beginning it was an multitrack-electric guitar - song, much like SRTS. Why was the early version not released officially?ġ. What was the tuning for this early version?ĥ. What was its first title, and what inspired the title?Ĥ. What was it's musical journey from initial conception to release on LZ III?ģ.
