Little Games, 1967
Written by Chris Dreja, Jim McCarty, Jimmy Page, and Keith Relf
With Jimmy Page on guitar and Relf on main vocals, the Yardbirds are a swampy blues-rock quartet here, aided by piano and harmonica lines. The song is credited to the band, although it's clear that this is an old blues riff from "Rollin' and Tumblin'" and earlier, a not-quite-original of the type that that Page and co. would later claim in the Led Zep days. But it's high-energy, and it's a powerhouse lineup, so this ends up a pretty satisfying blue-eyed R&B rocker.
