Hmmmmm. I have wondered where Jimmy is for a long time. Does he really need
to put out new music? I think so. I musician is just that, a musician. They
don't play music for the money only. Music to a musician is like breathing,
they have to do it to survive.
Jimmy will do something in the future, when is the question. In a recent
Guitar World Q&A he indicated that he felt is was time to move on from
rehashing old Zep material and create new music. He did not indicate he was
in a hurry or that it was going to be anytime soon.
What would I like him to do? I'd love to hear him do something bluesy with
a
modern twist. In other words, I do not want him to do a record of Robert
Johnson covers (ala Clapton). His guitar playing needs to be FEATURED not
just a part of the song. He should mix it up, acoustic and electric. A
cover
tune would be OK but he needs to write new stuff and focus on that. A guest
appearance by JPJ would be very cool. Most of all just play and write what
he feels inside, screw the record company, he can find a record deal if he
wants it.
