Balladeer’s Blog’s shoutout to the Stray Cats last weekend prompted some emails asking for similar music. Before running with any more Stray Cats songs I figured I’d first do this quasi-Stray Cats sounding song from Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and his ad hoc band the Honeydrippers in the 1980s.
This is real music
I was wondering if you would like this one, too. Glad you did!
If you hadn’t said who it was I might have guessed this was the Stray Cats or the Brian Setzer Orchestra!
I can certainly understand that!
My husband and I love this song!
Good to hear!
Not usually my kind of music but this band pulls it off.
I feel the same way.
” Sea of Love ” became his biggest-selling single. According to Plant, the original single was ” Rockin’ at Midnight ,” with “Sea of Love” as the “B” side. The single was eventually “flipped” because radio stations were playing “Sea of Love” far more than “Rockin’ at Midnight”. Plant feared his career would be ruined by this, and that people would think of him now as a “crooner”, instead of the rock and roll singer he’d always been.
Wow! That was the risk he took, though.
I liked this Lp though most didnt
I know what you mean. A lot of RP fans tell me they don’t like this one.
