“drummer Dave Smith exhibited a mastery of irresistible rhythms that ran from the Bo Diddley-ish beat of the title track from ‘Carry Fire’ to a simple bass drum-gospel-tambourine accompaniment for ‘The Gallows Pole’. He also brought the mighty rock drive of the Zeppelin songbook with ‘That’s the Way’, ‘Misty Mountain Hop’, ‘Whole Lotta Love’ and ‘Bring It on Home’.”
