Led Zeppelin. "Over The Hills and Far Away" from the Houses of the Holy album. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. John Bonham. John Paul Jones. The original heavy metal band.
This song does not start as many other Led Zeppelin songs do. It is an amazingly beautiful acoustic guitar introduction that makes this song worth listening to. Add to it, Zeppelin's usual excellent lyrics and it became a perennial favorite of mine.
Released in 1973, it only reached 51 on the Billboard charts. For the song Page started with an acoustic six string guitar and then repeats the theme with an acoustic twelve string guitar. "Lady, got the love on me, maybe, more than enough. Oh darlin', darlin', darlin', walk a while with me..."
Listen to it!
