'South Bound Saurez' is the second song on England|English]] Rock music|rock]] band Led Zeppelin]]'s 1979 album, In Through the Out Door]]. OverviewThe title is a playful pun on words. In Through the Out Door was written during a time when many bands were considered by some sections of the music press as being dinosaurs. 'Suarez' is a wine-producing region in Uruguay]], South America]]. Some of the lyrics in the song attest to this, mentioning flying down (southbound), being happy to have his feet on the ground again, watching a woman walk and talk, heavy rhythm, and con carne, the Spanish term for a dish prepared with beef. The song is centred around John Paul Jones (musician)|John Paul Jones]]'s honky-tonk]] piano, recorded using a Steinway grand piano]]. It is credited to Jones and singer Robert Plant]]. 'South Bound Saurez' is one of only two Led Zeppelin songs which Jimmy Page]] had no part in writing (the other being 'All My Love]]', also from In Through the Out Door). At the time, Page and drummer John Bonham]] were spending a lot of time together and rarely appeared at the studio when Plant and Jones started working on songs for In Through the Out Door. Page made a few minor mistakes in his guitar part, but opted to leave them in. 'South Bound Saurez' was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts]].[1] Credits
