Maybe I'm amazed, but I'm not Dazed and Confused over preferring the original song above Zepparella's version here, whose lead singer is sadly no match for Robert Plant's vocal acrobatics. Smile

Beth Hart's rousing and rollicking cover version is enough to lift anyone out of a Black Dog depression, although she doesn't look like the kind of woman you'd take home to meet your mother. Tongue

Are you serious? Confused
Here it is:


Yes, I've watched that video countless times before, and there can never be a equal for the young Fish on vocals, but I reckon Mr Punch are a fair match for the rest of the band instrumentally, and the vocalist certainly doesn't spoil the song either. Certainly the best cover that I've seen of the song as yet.

Mr Punch do a pretty decent take on Genesis too:



That was recorded towards the end of the first lockdown in the summer of 2020.

I expect you've probably come across Strange Kind of Women as well. If not, then:

I've come across some strange kind of women in the past, but this is the first time I've seen them performing Live. They sounded great and they're strangers to me no more! Thumbs Up

Zepparella have only released one self-titled studio album so far, but what a totally awesome album it is! Clap

Zepparella - Immigrant Song
