The story behind
Led Zeppelin recorded Rock and Roll as a song that seems to come directly out of the 50s. The lyrics talk about a strong rhythm, about a movement that goes back and forth, as if you were on a rocking chair. The guitar sounds hard, with a riff that repeats and gets louder as the song progresses. It's not a complicated song, but it has that touch that makes you feel like you're at one of the early days of rock concerts. The singer's voice moves with the music, as if he were singing live. The song lasts just over three minutes, but in that time it takes you to a place that's hard to forget. ↓ Skip to chords
