Joe Bonamassa Tea For One
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Joe Bonamassa has been heralded as one of the best guitarists of his generation. So it’s only fitting that one of the best guitarists cover a song by one of the best bands of the last century - namely, Led Zeppelin’s “Tea For One”.
“Tea For One” appeared on Bonamassa’s 2006 album You And Me, and its drum portions (along with every other song on the album) were done by Jason Bonham, son of late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. The song is extremely long, clocking in at just over nine minutes long (almost the same length as the original), and is possibly superior to the older Led Zeppelin release (though that, of course, is subject to personal opinion).
Not sure which is better? Compare the two and see how you feel.
