That's a cool track that. Is that definitely a sitar though? Sounds more like a Turkish/Arabian sort of ting?

Not sure, but cool it is indeed

I love People Get Ready. They're one of a host of up and coming bands in New York these days.

I love Led Zep but we now know songs like Whole Lotta love, Dazed and Confused ( and quite a few others) were totally 'stolen' from other, relatively obscure artists. Page is now accused of plagiarising parts of Stairway to Heaven from California's song Taurus, which was originally recorded by the band Spirit." http://www.theguardian.com/music/20...n-accused-stealing-stairway-to-heaven-opening

I think that claim is drawing (more than) a bit of a long bow. What (to me) is unequivocal is that they nicked large parts from Davy Graham's version of 'Cry Me A River' (1959). Watch this and decide for yourself.

Dazed and Confused was written by the folk-rock singer Jake Holmes and released as a track in his debut album "The Above Ground Sound" Of Jake Holmes in 1967. That same year Jake Holmes opened for The Yardbirds in a show in New York where Jimmy Page heard the song. The song was rearranged and later became one of Led Zeppelin best-known songs, the debt to Jake Holmes however went largely unacknowledged by the band until 2012.
