Led Zeppelin- The Artist
Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The band comprised vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bass-guitarist and keyboardist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham. Their combination of a heavy electric-guitar sound with elements of blues and folk music popularised album-oriented rock and stadium rock and established them as the progenitor of hard rock and heavy metal. They are amongst the best-selling music artists of all time, with an estimated 200 to 300 million records sold worldwide. Led Zeppelin evolved from a previous band, the Yardbirds, and were originally named “the New Yardbirds”. They signed a deal with Atlantic Records that gave them artistic freedom. Although it was initially critically unpopular, their music achieved both critical and commercial success in eight studio albums over ten years.
Black Dog – The Song
‘Black Dog’ is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the first track on the band’s untitled fourth album (1971), which has become one of the best-selling albums of all time. The song was released as a single and reached the charts in many countries. It is “one of the most instantly recognisable Zeppelin tracks”. The lyrics contain typical bluesman themes of lust, eroticism, and betrayal.
The Golden Retriever. – The Shape
This record has been modelled into a Golden Retriever. Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” was named after a stray Black Labrador Retriever that wandered the grounds of Headley Grange, the historic Hampshire mansion where the band recorded their untitled fourth album (commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV) The nameless dog didn’t belong to anyone in the band, but it frequently hung around the studio, was fed by the band, and would disappear into the woods at night only to return exhausted in the morning. Because the song needed a title and the lyrics had no connection to its name, the band decided to name the track after their visiting canine companion.
