Album of the Day

IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR would be Led Zeppelin's final studio album before the group disbanded in the wake of John Bonham's death. Its seven songs (which include such classic rock radio anthems as “In The Evening” and “All My Love”) show the quartet adding Latin and country touches to their powerful blues-based rock, and John Paul Jones' synthesizers are as prominent here as Jimmy Page's riffing guitars. While the group members were exploring new directions, they never abandoned their core strengths and the 1979 set is a highly satisfying swan song for the legendary band. We'll give IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR another spin now to wish John Paul Jones a very happy birthday.
