On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we will take a step back in time and explore one of the most important albums in all of rock history. Led Zeppelin IV (more commonly known as "Zoso") was a watershed moment not only for the band but for rock music and rock history. With songs like Black Dog, Rock 'n Roll and Stairway to FREAKIN' HEAVEN the album joins the pantheon of the greatest rock albums of all time; right up there with Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club.
