111. Ash Naylor (Even) on Led Zeppelin 'Houses of the Holy'

After two years of podcasting, we finally get to one of rock's most iconic bands, Led Zeppelin. Aussie guitar god and Melbourne rock institution Ash Naylor, frontman of Even, joins me at his local football grounds to talk about Zep's album 'Houses of the Holy'.  How does the record mark the transition between the first and second parts of the band's career? What Keith Richards quote applies to the band's style? How did they replace blues with funk? What did Ash learn about the album from having to play it live? and how did it go when he met Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones a few years ago? My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album’s influence on their own music.Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and photographer from Sydney, Australia who has worked in the music industry since 2007.
