Episode twenty-seven is up now! Today's song is When The Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin.

I discuss how the song is and isn't really a cover, and the iconic drum sound of John Bonham.

Having written a paragraph I’m particularly proud of, I got lost in finding something to so that I could keep pace. I reached for one of my favorites, “When The Levee Breaks” done by Led Zeppelin.

Like most things I like, it has a history that I’ve drilled down into. This song just drives through emotion, plodding through the mud with purpose, with a steady rhythm regardless of what comes. It’s grounding. You’re in the ‘suck’, but you keep moving at a very primal level.

The history goes back to 1927.

The Great Mississippi flood of 1927 has a pretty thorough Wikipedia page. It was the most destructive river flood in the United States. Imagine 27,000 square miles in water up to 30 feet in depth. 500 dead, 630,000 people affected. Population density was lower then.

It’s a song born of, “well this sucks, but I’ll make it through”.

I'm a sucker for a beautiful #song, but I'm a slut for a cover that transcends the original in music, visuals or both. PLAYING FOR CHANGE has hit the mark many times over the last few years. This one just reduced me to tears. #WhenTheLeveeBreaks #Zeppelin #JohnPaulJones #MusicIsLife #UniversalLove

#WhenTheLeveeBreaks by #MemphisMinnie and #KansasJoeMcCoy. The #LedZeppelin version, while awesome and better-known, has overshadowed the original song recorded in 1929. Memphis Minnie is on lead guitar while Kansas Joe sings and plays rhythm guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5VmVvsjyKw
