Same Old Rock
Roy Harper
Listen
Regarded as Harper鈥檚 best song in his extensive oeuvre and one which Harper himself sees as a highlight. On his website he says of the track on the 鈥淪tormcock鈥 album; 鈥溾 would definitely say that my personal highlight on the record is Jimmy
Roy Harper
Song facts
Composer Roy Harper
Genre Rock
Album Stormcock
Released 1971
Page's guitar solo on 'The Same Old Rock.' My opinion has not changed since the day he put it on there. Absolutely brilliant鈥. The song has also provided a framework for fine solos from his son Nick and long time collaborator Andy Roberts. Lyrically the song is a poetic rant against organised religion, reminiscent of Bob Dylan but with听more inward looking, stream of consciousness approach. Harper鈥檚 interior world is accompanied by his accomplished playing but the songs musical focus has always centred on the solo and Jimmy Page鈥檚 fine blues rendition on Stormcock is one of the best performances he has ever recorded, including his Zepplin days.
