FestivaLink.net presents Hillside Album Hour with The Waybacks & John Cowan & Friends
Could this be the first Led Zeppelin tribute where the singer calls out,"more banjo?" James Nash of The Waybacks did the arrangements for this exceptional troupe of acoustic players. John Cowan channeled Robert Plant in his own unforgettable style. Led Zeppelin II was released in 1969 and was hugely influential on hard rock music that followed, and on many of these musicians, who claimed they all had a ball. The Hillside audience had fun, too - you can hear 'em!
This year, they've challenged us all to guess what album they're covering this year. We're recruiting you to help us guess - and maybe win some cool prizes. The winner will be chosen at random from correct entries received at our contest page. The band is dropping hints from now til then, so feel welcome to check back and enter again. Guess the Hillside Album Hour 2009 tribute album.
