Released March 28, 1973. Houses of the Holy Tracklist. 1. The Song Remains the Same Lyrics. 17K. 2. The Rain Song Lyrics. Houses Of The Holy, one of LZ’s most epic albums, is a showcase of folk and softcore classic metal mastery. Jimmy Page later confirmed after Houses of the Holy’s release it was recorded directly from Mick Jagger’s home: Beginning with their third release in 1970, Led Zeppelin sought to escape the drab confines of traditional recording studios by spending a portion of their album sessions holed up at an intimate rural estate. It was an idea borrowed from the Band, who had a communal home near Bob Dylan’s upstate.
Houses of the Holy follows the same basic pattern as Led Zeppelin IV, but the approach is looser and more relaxed. Jimmy Page's riffs rely on ringing, folky hooks as much as they do on thundering blues-rock, giving the album a lighter, more open atmosphere.
Houses of the Holy is the fifth studio album by Led Zeppelin, released on 28 March 1973 by Atlantic Records. It is their first album composed of entirely original material and it represents a turning point in musical direction for the band, who had begun to record songs with more layering and production techniques
