From the album Houses Of The Holy (1973)

The last track on this album has guitar and drums in perfect time. Rhythm rules the day here. The guitar backing steps on the notes to bring you part of that special signature tune Jimmy Page is so famous for, while Bonzo's drums follow suit. Robert arrives with top range vocals here and there.
This is a simple, easy listening tune that engulfs the listener to reach a little deeper, and you will, especially when you witness Page's solo and Robert's harmonies.
There is a little interplay between guitar, drums and bass which, dare I say, reminds me of Status Quo, but don't let that put you off. It works fantastically; the boys pull it off. A track that in parts was tricky to play, but easy to listen to. I give this eight sails out of 10!
