This is really fascinating. This guy wrote, performed and recorded "Dazed and Confused" then Jimmy Page put out his version without attribution or (I presume) royalties. Extraordinary.
After the case was settled, further recordings were attributed to Jake Holmes:
"November 2012's release of Celebration Day (The Led Zeppelin Reunion Show at the O2) credits "Dazed and Confused" as written by Jimmy Page (inspired by Jake Holmes)."
I stumbled on this post and tried it out on a whim... and I really like it. Kind of has a Nick Drake vibe in parts, fascinating to learn the story behind Dazed and Confused. Stand out track is "Wish I Was Anywhere Else" - love that repeating melody.
