I'M DAZED AND CONFUSED
HANGING ON BY A THREAD
I'M BEING ABUSED
I'D BE BETTER OF DEAD
"The Above Ground Sound"
of
Jake Holmes
is the debut album
of American
singer songwriter
released in
June 1967
on Tower Records.
The album consists of
songs played on
bass and
two electric guitars
with no drummer.
Both this record
and Holmes'
subsequent record,
A Letter to Katherine December,
were not well received
and neither
made the charts.
Holmes played guitar.
Tim Irwin
also played guitar
with
Rick Randall
on bass
"Dazed and Confused"
The album is
best known
for the song
"Dazed and Confused"
because
Led Zeppelin
released their interpretation
of the song
on their
1969 debut album
Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page,
Led Zeppelin
guitarist,
was familiar with
Holmes' song
because his
previous band,
The Yardbirds,
had covered the song.
The Led Zeppelin song
was not credited to
Jake Holmes.
While Holmes
took no action
at the time,
he did later contact Page
in regards to the matter
but received no reply.
Starting in 2010,
Jake Holmes filed
multiple lawsuits
against Page
for copyright
infringement regarding
"Dazed and Confused."
The liner notes
on
Led Zeppelin I
credit Page
as the sole songwriter,
which was changed to
“inspired by Jake Holmes”
following an
initial copyright infringement
lawsuit in 2010,
settled in 2011
In August 2025,
the case was settled
out of court,
with both sides
informing the
California court
they had reached
a written settlement.
The terms and details
of the
agreement
remain confidential.
