One of the most famous living guitarists Jimmy Page is stated as artist for the newly released album "Playin' Up a Storm"....... it is misleading. The album contains 14 songs pre-Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page only plays on 6 tracks.
 
"Playin' up a Storm" is recorded in the late sixties when Page did lots of sessions. For Led Zeppelin completists the album is interesting because John Paul Jones plays bass on all tracks. However, the music has nothing to do with the style this web-zine represents. This is plain 60's Blues Rock.
 
It is not bad and singer Keith De Groot has a great voice. However,  there is nothing on this recording that indicates that Jimmy Page was about to be the most inventive player of the 70's and a true guitar legend.
