News John Paul Jones and Robert Plant worked closely together on Led Zeppelin’s last album
Plant mentioned Led Zeppelin’s 1976 album Presence in his interview. Unlike previous records, Jones had very little input when writing the songs. He rebounded in a major way on the next project, with some help from Plant.
Led Zeppelin had basically broken into two distinct camps by 1979 — the relatively sober Jones and Plant and the hard-partying Bonham and Page. The singer and bassist wrote most of the songs on In Through the Out Door.
Jones, at that time a new owner of a cutting-edge synthesizer, felt inspired to write several tunes. His playing carries several songs, including “Carouselambra,” “I’m Gonna Crawl,” and “All of My Love.”
Jones might have now known most Led Zeppelin songs by name, but we’re guessing he had a soft spot for his In Through the Out Door compositions.
