"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is a song composed by John Paul Jones, the bassist and keyboardist of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin. The song was first recorded in 1970 and was included in the band's third album, "Led Zeppelin III," which was released on October 5, 1970. The song is a folk-inspired track that features a unique blend of acoustic guitar, mandolin, and bass. It is a lively and upbeat song that is characterized by its catchy melody and infectious rhythm. The song is also notable for its use of foot stomping, which adds to its energetic and lively feel. "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is divided into two distinct sections, each with its own unique character. The first section is a fast-paced instrumental that features a driving rhythm and intricate guitar and mandolin work. The second section is a more laid-back and relaxed instrumental that features a slower tempo and a more melodic guitar and mandolin melody. The song's title is derived from the name of a cottage in Wales where Jones and guitarist Jimmy Page stayed while working on the band's second album, "Led Zeppelin II." The cottage was named "Bron-Yr-Aur," which means "golden breast" in Welsh, and the song was inspired by the time the two musicians spent there. "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" has become a fan favorite and is often performed live by Led Zeppelin tribute bands. Its infectious rhythm and catchy melody have made it a staple of classic rock radio and a beloved track among Led Zeppelin fans.
