How many more times - Led Zeppelin cover

"This is based on some old Blues songs that influenced the band. Some of the lyrics are from Blues singer Albert King's song "The Hunter," and much of the song was derived from Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years."
Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham got the writing credit for this. They chose not to credit any of the Blues musicians who influenced this, something they would get in trouble for on songs like "You Shook Me," which was based on a Willie Dixon song, and "The Lemon Song," which they got from another Howlin' Wolf song. Dixon and Wolf were eventually credited for those songs.
Robert Plant didn't get a writing credit for any songs on this album, but he helped put this together. The arrangement of old blues songs was something he'd put together with his former band, Hobbstweedle.
Led Zeppelin used this to close many of their early concerts. During the instrumental section, Plant would often thank the audience and showcase the other band members.
This was the last song on their first album. It was listed as 3:30 on the album, but the correct length is 8:28. The reason that the song was listed as only being a little over 3 minutes was to promote radio play. Jimmy Page knew that radio would never play a song over 8 minutes long, so he wrote the track time as shorter on the album to trick radio stations into playing it.
Robert Plant contributed the line, "I got another child on the way, that makes eleven." It referred to his unborn child, Carmen, who was born a month or two after Zeppelin recorded this album.

Guitar tone sounds great, nearly PERFECT. It's cool how you did the voice especially at the beginning..The drums are the worst part but overall you just gotta get the groove of the song instead of being so robotic and trying to hit every note.. try tapping your foot to get that rhythm, that's the most important thing especially in a song like this. Overall it is a cool sounding cover but it's just not on time..If you could just make it tighter it would sound alot better.

Guitar sounds pretty good.

Overall, sounds like you aren't used to this style; probably a more straight forward style. Drums need a lot of work.
