Little Games

The Yardbirds

A transitional psychedelic artifact where blues-rock grit meets studio experimentation. Jimmy Page's guitar wizardry begins to hint at the heavy future of rock.

It's the secret bridge between the 60s British Invasion and the birth of Led Zeppelin.

A restless and experimental blend of psychedelic whimsy and heavy blues-rock tension.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, Eastern-influenced acoustic drone of White Summer that prefigures the folk-rock mysticism of the next decade.
The unsettling use of a violin bow on an electric guitar during Glimpses, creating a haunting, mechanical screech.
The sharp, aggressive harmonica blast that cuts through the traditional blues structure of Drinking Muddy Water.
