“Ashes the Rain and I” (Peters, Walsh) 5:00 Continuing the acoustic feel, this is a couple of acoustic guitars and orchestration.All three of these songs could fit on Led Zeppelin III, a folkish album. “Thanks” 2:21 Another acoustic but slightly more rocking.“There I Go Again” 2:51 Another acoustic song with a bit more instrumentation, with a country flavor, steel guitar and such.“Garden Gate” 1:36 A nice little acoustic number by Walsh.This group was good at having the guitar, bass and drums work together on the beat and the rhythm of the chords. “Tend My Garden” 5:45 “Apple Dan, he’s just a man, to pick fruit off your branches.” This is a great, driving, guitar song with keyboards.With the distinctive percussion and guitar treatments, you’ll think this is “Moby Dick.” Walsh is as talented as Jimmy Page, and as adventurous in his younger years. If you like Led Zeppelin II, you’ll like this and the next song. “The Bomber: Closet Queen”/ “Boléro”/ “Cast Your Fate to the Wind” (Fox, Peters, Walsh, Maurice Ravel, Vince Guaraldi) 7:04 Could be the best song on the album.Much like “Funk #49” the strength is in how this group struts and sets a distinctive groove. The bass has a nice groove which lets Walsh add several different guitar layers. “Woman” (Fox, Peters, Walsh) 4:37 One of the standout tracks.
