Dazed And Confused (song)
"Dazed and Confused" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Jake Holmes in 1967. Performed in a folk rock style, he recorded it for his debut album '' "The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes''. Although some concluded that it was about a bad acid trip, Holmes insists the lyrics refer to the effects of a girl's indecision on ending a relationship. After hearing Holmes perform the song in August 1967, English rock group the Yardbirds reworked it with a radically different arrangement. It quickly became a centerpiece of their live performances, several recordings of which have been released, including on ''Yardbirds '68'', produced by guitarist Jimmy Page. "Dazed and Confused" was adopted by Page's new group, Led Zeppelin, who recorded a version based on the Yardbirds' arrangement, though featuring some rewritten lyrics and a new vocal line, for their debut album. It became a signature song and concert staple for much of the group's career. Despite being adapted from Ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
