VERSUS: Eat 'Em and Smile vs. VOA
Welcome to Versus. The series where we look at two albums in metal history, compare them to each other, and
'Whole Lotta Love' is a Led Zeppelin cover song, taken from the album Acid Queen and after 'Baby, Get It On;' the second single from this album. It’s also the very first solo single from Tina Turner.
This characteristically high-voltage and raunchy interpretation of the Led Zeppelin heavy-metal standard is by far Tina's most commercial outing in quite a while. The blending of material and non-Ike production with Tina's great shouting soul chops is just full of winning hooks. Even those who are tired of Tina's seemingly endless reworkings of rock oldies would dig this much.
