What is the name of the album that features the song "Immigrant Song"?

The story behind the answer

The song “Immigrant Song” appears on the album Led Zeppelin III. Released in 1970, it opens the album and introduces one of Led Zeppelin’s most forceful recordings with Jimmy Page’s repeated guitar riff and Robert Plant’s piercing vocal entrance.

Led Zeppelin III marked a change in direction for the band. Alongside heavy rock songs such as “Immigrant Song,” the record contains a much stronger acoustic and folk influence than the group’s first two albums. Much of it was recorded at Headley Grange, a country house in Hampshire, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.

The album was released on October 5, 1970, several weeks before “Immigrant Song” appeared as a single. The single’s B-side, “Hey, Hey, What Can I Do,” was not part of the original album track list, which can cause confusion when comparing different compilations and reissues.

The title Led Zeppelin III also helps distinguish it from Led Zeppelin IV, the later album that contains “Stairway to Heaven.” The Roman numeral refers to the band’s third studio album, not the song’s release number.
