'South Bound Saurez' is the second song on English Rock music|rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door.

Overview

The title is a playful pun on words. In Through the Out Door was written during a time when many bands were considered by some sections of the music press as being dinosaurs. 'Suarez' is a wine-producing region in Uruguay, South America. Some of the lyrics in the song attest to this, mentioning flying down (southbound), being happy to have his feet on the ground again, watching a woman walk and talk, heavy rhythm, and con carne, the Spanish term for a dish prepared with beef.

The song is centred around John Paul Jones's honky-tonk piano, recorded using a Steinway grand piano. It is credited to Jones and singer Robert Plant. 'South Bound Saurez' is one of only two Led Zeppelin songs which Jimmy Page had no part in writing (the other being 'All My Love', also from In Through the Out Door). At the time, Page and drummer John Bonham were spending a lot of time together and rarely appeared at the studio when Plant and Jones started working on songs for In Through the Out Door. Page made a few minor mistakes in his guitar part, but opted to leave them in.

'South Bound Saurez' was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1]
