Watch EVANESCENCE’s AMY LEE Cover LED ZEPPELIN’s ‘Going to California’

02 December 2015

EVANESCENCE vocalist AMY LEE is quickly making her YouTube channel something that music fans must subscribe to as she continues to use the platform to record covers of songs that mean something to her.

After offering up her renditions of PORTISHEAD‘s 'It’s a Fire' and a reconstructed version of U2‘s 'With or Without You,' LEE is now taking on a LED ZEPPELIN classic.

The video she shot is for her cover of LED ZEP’s 'Going to California' and she’s able to maneuver around Robert Plant‘s vocal nuances within the song with the best of them. Like her other two postings, b covered the track because it holds personal relevance to her. She revealed in a posting on her Facebook page:

This song is a classic that I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. It puts me at peace. My friend and manager, Jordan, had recorded the instrumentation for fun and when I heard it a few months ago I knew instantly that I had to sing on it. Listening to mommy sing usually helps get Jack into that elusive sleepy place, and this song has been a regular rotation nap-time hit around our house this fall.

The video itself finds Lee splitting time shrouded among the trees and leaves of a wooded area and visibly smiling while singing in a recording studio. Lee reveals that the guitar and mandolin in the song was provided by Jordan Berliant.
