DREAD
ZEPPELIN “Un-led-Ed” CD! Dread Zeppelin channeled the musical spirits
of Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, and Bob Marley to create tongue-in-cheek
novelty rock heartily endorsed by no less an authority than Robert Plant
himself. Led by one Tortelvis -- a 300-pound Elvis impersonator born Greg
Tortell -- the lineup also included guitarists Jah Paul Jo (Joe Ramsey) and
Carl Jah (Carl Haasis), bassist Butt-Boy (Gary Putman), percussionist Ed
Zeppelin (Bryant Fernandez), and drummer Fresh Cheese (Paul Masselli); playing
their debut live gig on January 8, 1989 (the 54th anniversary of the King's
birth), the Pasadena, CA-based group performed reggae-influenced renditions of
classic Led Zep anthems capped off by Presley-like vocals, an approach perhaps
best exemplified by gene-spliced songs like "Heartbreaker (At the End of
Lonely Street)." Growing local buzz soon earned Dread Zeppelin a deal with
IRS Records, and in 1990 the group issued their debut LP Un-led-Ed; in addition
to surprisingly strong sales, the record's cover of "Your Time Is Gonna
Come" also earned high marks from former Led Zep frontman Plant, who
admitted he preferred their updated rendition over the original. Tracks include: 1- Black Dog
2- Heartbreaker (at the End of Lonely Street) 3- Living Loving Maid 4- Your Time is Gonna Come 5- Bring it On Home 6- Whole Lotta Love 7- Black Mountain Side 8- I Can’t Just You Baby 9- Immigrant Song 10- Moby Dick.
