John Paul Jones doesn’t get enough love. I loved his keyboard work. I heard Plante “blame” Jones for In Through the Out Door. But I love ITTOD. The sound was a welcome change to Zep’s sound, and still holds up well today. It’s a shame that they broke up at that point, because they were going in an exciting new direction.
