By 1970, Led Zeppelin had achieved
commercial success in both the UK and the US with their first two
albums. They were determined to have a proper break, having recorded
most of Led Zeppelin II in various locations while on tour, financing
the sessions with the album sales and tour receipts. Following an
exhausting concert tour of North America that spring, lead singer Robert
Plant recommended to guitarist and producer Jimmy Page that they should
retreat to Bron-Yr-Aur, an 18th-century cottage in Snowdonia, Wales, on
a hilltop overlooking the Dyfi Valley, three miles (4.8 km) north of
the market town Machynlleth. Plant had spent holidays there with his
family.
This remote setting had no running water or electric power,
which encouraged a slight change of musical direction for the band
towards an emphasis on acoustic arrangements. Page later explained that
the tranquillity of Bron-Yr-Aur stood in sharp contrast to the continual
touring of 1969, affecting the overall tone of the songwriting and
dominance of acoustic guitars. His playing was influenced by folk
guitarists Davey Graham and Bert Jansch, who regularly used alternative
guitar tunings. Plant also recalled the band were "obsessed with change"
and enjoyed listening to John Fahey. The band specifically wanted a
change in direction, to show they could play any style of music they
wanted.
