Slightly amended, tribute albums have become the sincerest form of
flattery. ENCOMIUM: A TRIBUTE TO LED ZEPPELIN is way overdue, in light
of the onslaught of tribute albums that have flooded the marketplace
since the late '80s. Although Led Zeppelin was an English band, their
influence on American music was inescapable. Thus, of the twelve groups
to appear on ENCOMIUM, it's fitting that the only Brits included are
Duran Duran, who, along with their American guitarist, do a reverential
rendition of "Thank You." Most of the chosen covers come from the
earlier part of Zeppelin's catalog, weighing heavily towards LED
ZEPPELIN III and LED ZEPPELIN IV. 4 Non Blondes kick off the
festivities with a by-the-numbers-reading of "Misty Mountain Hop" with
a riff or two from Santana's "Gypsy Queen" thrown in for good measure.
Sheryl Crow wraps her raspy vocals around a rock-steady "D'yer Mak'er,"
while Rollins Band strong-arms "Four Sticks" to the floor and infuses
it with a fair amount of rage. Adding pedal steel and slide guitar to
"Tangerine," Big Head Todd & The Monsters gild its essence with a
dreamy haze. The most drastically reworked arrangement goes to Tori
Amos' reading of "Down By The Seaside." Joined by Robert Plant, Amos
slows the tempo, extending the song to eight minutes, while painting it
with varying tones never traversed by the original.
