Mary J Blige and Blink-182's Travis Barker Cover Led Zeppelin

February 4, 2010
Mary J Blige and Blink-182's Travis Barker Cover Led ZeppelinMary J Blige has teamed up with Blink-182's Travis Barker for a cover of the Led Zeppelin classic 'Stairway To Heaven'.

The soul singer also drafted in Steve Vai, American Idol judge Randy Jackson and Michael Jackson's ex-touring guitarist Orianthi for the unique take on the 1971 rock classic.

Currently in the midst of recording the song at Studio A at Hollywood's iconic Capitol Records building, Blige told Spinner.com: "I think this song is not hard at all because it's based on pure emotion.

"You gotta get lost in the rock 'n' roll moment of it all, and once you get lost in the rock 'n' roll moment of it all you can do is scream to the top of your lungs or go as low as you need to go. It's not a head thing - it's a spirit thing."

The cover will appear as a bonus track on the European release of Blige's new album 'Stronger With Each Tear' on March 15th.
