휴우.....1년이 지나서 두번 째 곡이라니...
글 적는 핑계로 또 들어보자.
물론 열심히 듣기는 했지만
레드 제플린은 기본적으로 블루스를 지향하기 때문에 그들의 음악에는 블루스 적인 느낌이 항상 있고,
지미 페이지의 기타 및 로버트 플랜트의 블루지한 목소리도 참 좋다.
나중에는 음악적인 성향이 조금 바뀌기는 했지만,
1집에서는 아무래도 그들이 레드 제플린을 만들기 이전에 했었던 블루지한 음악이
다른 음반보다도 더 많이 표현되고 있다.
초반에 시작되는 어쿠스틱 기타 리프가 참 맘을 편안하게 해준다.
가장 최근의 따뜻한 라이브 모습인거 같은데...뭔가 조작질이 있었나.
왜 40년전 원곡보다 더 좋은 느낌이지.
ROBERT PLANT on AUSTIN CITY LIMITS " BABY, I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU"
주변에 있는 다른 사람들은 누군가?
다 처음보는 사람들인데...어디가서 혼자 공연하고 온 거 같은데.
유튜브 검색하던 중에, GREAT WHITE라는 팀이 있는데, 이 사람이 저 당시에만 해도
로버트 플랜트의 목소리와 가장 비슷한 사람이라는 소개가 있었다.
그래서, 유명한 밴드임에도 불구하고 LED ZEPPELIN TRIBUTE ALBUM을 발매할 정도였으니까,
얼마나 비슷한지 한번 들어보는 것도....좋겠지요.
GREAT WHITE
이제는 곡 설명.
"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is a folk song written by Anne Bredon (then known as Anne Johannsen) in the late 1950s. It was recorded by Joan Baez (credited and became widely popular as "traditional") and released on her 1962 album Joan Baez in Concert, Part 1; and by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, who included it on their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin.
JOAN BAEZ의 곡인데...비슷하기는 하지만...과연 이 곡의 COVER라는 의미가 맞는가 모르겠다.
그리고, 사실 LED ZEPPELIN에는 다른 사람의 곡을 허락도 없이 사용했다고 하는 오명이 많기도 하다.
그들이 사용했던 곡을 들어보면, 특히 기타 리프의 경우는 아주 옛날에 유명하지 않은 사람들이
연주했던 리프를 사용하는 경우가 많아서, 나중에 밝혀지면서 곤혹을 치르기도 하고,
작곡자 이름을 넣기도 했다.
자세한 내용은...나중으로 하던지.
좋은 곡이라는 건 아는 사람들은 충분히 아니까,
롤링 스톤지에 있는 안 좋은 리뷰 하나...
In a contemporary review for Led Zeppelin, John Mendelsohn of Rolling Stone gave Led Zeppelin's version of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" a negative review, writing "The song is very dull in places (especially on the vocal passages), very redundant, and certainly not worth the six-and-a-half minutes the Zeppelin gives it."
1969년 4월 15일 인터뷰.
잔잔히 시작해서 격렬하게 올라가는 부분이 참 맘에 든다.
