Jimmy Page, “A Minor Sketch” from Sound Tracks (2015): One Track Mind
A long-awaited new Jimmy Page album is being promised. Until then, we’re left with table scraps from a feast that’s somehow never been served.

Foghat made an overt reference on “Honey Hush” to the Yardbirds’ Jeff Beck-era update of “Train Kept A-Rollin’.” Their connection goes further back.
An ailing Jeff Beck simply couldn’t make it on stage in 1966. So the Yardbirds asked their bass player to take over. A bass player named Jimmy Page.
Some vestige of the Yardbirds name may have remained, but Jimmy Page was headed in a new direction now — toward Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page says Led Zeppelin initially took more than just the Yardbirds’ name.
Everything would change when the Yardbirds tenures of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page overlapped in 1966.
Legend says Clapton split over “For Your Love.” But there was more to it.
A late-1960s opening act changed everything for two of rock’s signature bands.
Jimmy Page’s first, and last, proper solo album was 1988’s ‘Outrider.’
He says Led Zeppelin gave Bonham “the vehicle to play the way he really wanted.”
