Deborah Bonham

�Duchess� (Rhino): B-

Ever drink too many MGDs and wake up with a bar band�s $15, self-released CD in your jacket the succeeding morning? Then you put it on and think, �Man, these guys were way better when I was tanked?� Deborah Bonham (yes, the Led Zeppelin drum god�s little sis) is that prevention band and �Duchess� is that bibulous purchase. She can sing, the vapours originals aren�t half bad and after a few beers you might be caught saying the band really cooks. But unplayful, every Led Zeppelin - heck, every Firm album - is better. To hear a Paul Rodgers duet featuring a soft Jason Bonham on drums and an ill-conceived mention to �Dancing Days,� download �Hold On.�
