"The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes is the debut album of American folk singer songwriter Jake Holmes, 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.[1]

"Dazed and Confused"

The album is best known for the song "Dazed and Confused" because rock band Led Zeppelin member Jimmy Page took the title, came up with a new set of lyrics, and changed enough of the melody to escape a plagiarism lawsuit.[1][2][3] "Dazed and Confused" was included in Led Zeppelin's 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin. The Led Zeppelin version was not credited to Jake Holmes. While Holmes took no action at the time, he did later contact Jimmy Page in regards to the matter but received no reply.[4] In June 2010, Holmes filed a lawsuit against the guitarist for copyright infringement in a United States District Court, claiming Page knowingly copied his work.[5]
