Anyone who saw "Great White" play the unplugged set on MTV a while back, and do Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," knew this couldn't be too far away. Jack Russell's voice is so similar to the legendary Robert Plant you'd have to swear it wasn't the former Zeppelin screamer doin' his thing back in their better days. "Great Zeppelin" is a welcome addition for any true rock fan, right down to the killer album cover that features the "Great White" shark morphed from the fated Hindenburg blimp (as seen on "Zeppelin I") as it crashed to the ground. Recorded during a live set a couple years back, the band's interpretation of many of the Zeppelin classics like "Ramble On," "No Quarter," "Thank You" and "D'Yer Maker" (or "Jamaica" as regarded in jokingly English slang) are as true to the originals as any band will come close to. Of course the expected hits find their way here amidst the fourteen song barrage that concludes with the rousing "Stairway To Heaven," and a few of the unexpected in the form of "In The Light," "Tangerine" and how about "Going To California?"

The tribute's variety is well picked, making full use of Russell's strongest vocal attributes that even on his worst day would have you picking your brain wondering who it actually is crooning "All My Love." "Great White," the band that refuses to quit, might well have gotten their second and third wind from this performance alone, plugging in and letting it wail.
