Going to California - Led Zeppelin (Acoustic Cover by Sierra Eagleson)

I don't know if I can express this or not, I'll try. So I'm in the kitchen prepping dinner, stereo playing, this song comes on and I freeze, overcome with the sensation of being swept back like the rush of a wormhole and an almost unbearable desire to be immersed again in the zeitgeist of 1975, summertime in the Texas hill country when music was everything. I'm not even a Led Zeppelin fan but this song was in heavy rotation on nascent FM stations and I always thought it might be beautiful done by someone other than Robert Plant ... and sure enough it is. What a superb rendition, I've listened to it every day since you posted it. Your voice, the hypnotic accompaniment - well, I'm a moth to flame. Thanks so much for sharing this.

This is what the internet is for. What a great version of this song.

70 years old, never heard a better sound. Thank You.

I'm 71 and remember when this came out and rushed to get the album. This is beyond outstanding. Thanks so much.

Every time I hear her voice I can't believe how beautiful it is. I have heard many voices in my life, but this one is a true gift from God.

Voice like Norah Jones, expressions like Eddie Vedder, song choice - Led Zeppelin. This is top stuff!

Oh my goodness. This is the most beautiful rendition I have EVER heard. I’m a heavy duty Led Zep fan, and this is one of my favorites. Until today I thought nothing could top Robert Plant’s acoustic version of this one, but girl you might have him beat. It’s as if the original version is a carved, beautifully varnished wooden instrument, and you’ve carefully and respectfully stripped it down to reveal the beauty of the grain. Stunning. Couldn’t be more perfect.

I think Robert Plant would be happy to hear this sung so beautifully.

Im grateful that young people enjoy music that means so much to me.

I just heard 99% more of the lyrics than I have heard in the last 50 years.

When you love music, this is nourishment for your soul.

It's criminals she's isn't selling millions of albums. Absolutely phenomenal.

Dear God...some people have a poet's heart and benevolent soul. Sierra, thank you for sharing...

With the Robert Plant hair and everything! Awesome work - thank you!

Folk roots…gentle breezes…quiet contemplation…summer shimmering…thank you.

Sierra is AN ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL in her expression and execution of this amazing classic. I still enjoy lots of Led Zeppelin… But this musician is PURE! Blow Away……..

pure joy . takes us back to free happier times . The world needs this especially now

It takes a very special kind of brilliance to perform a cover of an old, very familiar song and make people feel as if it is the first time in their entire life that they’re hearing it. Thanks, Sierra!

Well, that was a treat. Thank you YouTube for randomly showing me this clip.

A voice floats amoung the trees, kisses on the wind, haunting, lilted, ethereal....
