PFC does a great job of integrating "names" with street musicians and indigenous folk musicians. It all works! These videos show how much we all have in common, which allows us to celebrate our differences instead of being afraid of them.

Susan Tedeschi is a great blues singer and along with her husband is part of the Tedeschi/Trucks band (he's the nephew of Butch Trucks, 1 of the 2 Allman Brothers drummers) The Tedeschi Trucks Band is an American blues and blues rock group based in Jacksonville, Florida. Formed in 2010, the band is led by married couple Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. Their debut album, Revelator(2011), won the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Blues Album.

Susan Tedeschi. married to Derek Trucks a great great slide guitarist! Please remember, that Led Zeppelin wrote this and came out with this in 1971!!!! They always meant for their songs and music to cross over many generations and cultures! They were geniuses then and John Paul Jones has always been one then and now!!

That bluesy singer is Susan Tedeschi. The slide guitar player in this video is her husband and bandmate, Derek Trucks (formerly of the Allman Brothers Band). Their band is The Tedeschi Trucks Band. They're out touring now. Checkout their cover of The Sky Is Crying, live. Susan will surprise you with her talents. ;)

This was not a JPJ project. It was put together by an organization called Playing For Change. They usually have one or two heavy weight musicians, mixed with performers all over the world. The idea is to try and promote unity through music. Over the years they have released a whole bunch of videos equally spectacular as this one

Playing for Change is an excellent rabbit hole to lose yourself in. So many greast musicians and great songs

"When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

I’ve always maintained, since first hearing “ Levee” when released, all those years ago, that this Zeppelin reworking of the original piece should remain untouched, for all time. It’s a pinnacle achievement for the group, with an important back story about the Great Flood along the Mississippi River in 1927. This event sent the Federal Gov. into high gear, bringing the Army Corp of Engineers in to establish a Fed. Levee System to control the River. Until now I could never imagine anyone capturing this spirit or intensity of a die that had been cast. I was wrong! To all the remarkable artists here, Bravo! A special shout out to Derick and Susan. Her vocal was spiritual. Lastly, the legend that is John Paul Jones, adding your talents is the credibility this version needed, and deserves. Let’s all remember the charitable reason for the cover, a most worthy cause.

Also the woman in the couple who wrote the song was THE first person male or female to solo on electric guitar. FACT Memphis Minnie!

Playing for Change has also done great versions of The Band's 'The Weight', The Doobie Brother's 'Listen to the Music and 'All Along the Watchtower'.

Susan Tedeschi is the southern blues singer you’re digging. She’s married to Derrick Trucks, who played with the Allman Brothers for years.

That's Susan Tedeschi and husband Derek Trucks on slide guitar. 30 years of music history and very cute love story meeting while Derek was playing with Allman Brothers and Susan's band was opening for them. 2012, 2×GRAMMY'S, they are known as best jam band ever. PLAYING FOR CHANGE great charity and music. Thank you very much! I see Bob Marley behind you. PFC regaee covers: "Get Up Stand Up", "Redemption Song", "One Love" or "Soul Rebel" all great music.

No one seems to mention the full on power of the message of the song and more than ever its nothing to smile about given what we are doing to our plant and its affecting all countries and cultures across the earth not tomorrow or in twenty years but right here and now. "When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929.

Hey family, Pastor Fred here. Another great Playing for Change one is another one you recently reacted to. The Band singing The Weight with the Staple Singers is what you reacted to. PFC did it for the 50th anniversary of the song, and features Ringo Star of the Beatles on drums, and so many many others!!! You truly need to see it!! Side note: in the video the last 2 ladies that sing are on the front porch of the house Bob Marley grew up in.... CULTURE!!!!

And to address your other question, no, not everybody on this video is famous. One Thing PFC is fabulous at doing is mixing really famous musicians with people who just play on the street. Also, each of these musicians individually record their parts, and then it's all mixed together later. They are truly amazing

The outro to The Big Short... Hell, ya! What a movie...what a song

Susan Tedeschi is in this, she I recommend, for female friday or just whenever. Excellent Bluesy jams.. she is stunning. It Hurt So Bad is one of my favorites.

I love all the Playing or Change compilations. Bringing talented artists & music lovers together for the common good is what music is all about. Two of the featured performers, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi are married to each other & have a band you should check out - The Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Susan Tedeschi (teh-deh-shee) is a great blues singer. Her marriage to and musical collaboration with guitarist Derek Trucks is absolutely incredible. I think that was him playing slide guitar. Theier album Revelator is magic.

Well said Amber! The emotion on your face said it all! Equality for all!

This compilation brings tears to my eyes for the same multi cultural reasons as Amber. You mentioned Susan Tedeschi and that subscribers have recommended her? Her husband Derick Trucks (Child guitar prodigy) was who was playing the slide on electric guitar in this video. They each had their own carriers before they met and got married. Their combined band name is the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Consistently sell out concert’s! My personal favorite song and performance of theirs is “Midnight In Harlem” from the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival. Better than their studio recording in my opinion!! Derick does the most amazing guitar solo toward the end! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome. New appreciation for John Paul Jones' playing and contribution.

Love you guys! I grew up with Led Zep, saw them live in 1977. This all might have been passed on, but, if not, JP Jones was also the one playing mandolin when you hear it in songs like Going to California, Hey Hey, What Can I Do, etc. And all of these years I thought When The Levee Breaks was a original Zep song, and just recently discovered Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy wrote and recorded it in 1929! ❤

So lovely to see you "kids" appreciate this song. I'm 68 years old and was 15 when I first heard it after bringing Zeppelin's album home from the record store (which I still have). Originally inspired by The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and composed by two African-American blues musicians, Leppelin's rendition was a tribute to those artists. Most people don't understand that this cover by John Paul Jones and Company, and the accompanying video, is to bring attention to Climate Change and how quickly a single weather event can alter our homes and lives. That was the point of the original song: one day the Sun is shining and life is wonderful; then nature comes along and has the final say in so many people's fates. All they can do is sit down and cry. They know their lives will never be the same. Now we are witnessing these occurrences on an unimaginable scale almost daily. Metaphorically speaking, the levees are breaking all over the world, and it may be too late to stop these catastrophes.

Playin for change is amazing. Stumbled onto them 5 or 6 years ago. "Sittin by the dock of the bay", "Stand by me" and "Gimme shelter" are just amazing. Give them a listen.

OMG, if you guys cover ever song from this charity, I'm there for it. That version of Biko from Peter Gabriel is killer!

The woman singing with the southern voice is Susan Tedeschi and is married to the guy that's playing slide guitar in the video (Derek Trucks). She has had her own solo career, but they have released a lot of good music together as The Tedeschi Trucks Band.

I'm glad I got to see them in concert. I'm surprised to see Mermans Mosengo on the harmonica. He's a vocalist/percussionist who occasionally plays acoustic guitar. Until he passed away recently Elliot Smalls, AKA Grandpa Elliott, was Playing for Change's go-to harmonica player.

Thank you - thank you. Because of your joy for music, I knew you would love this. I was happy that I wasn't the only one suggesting it. Amber, I felt exactly the same the first time I heard Playing for Change performing "One Love". I'm so glad for you to discover PFC and how you guys have now also introduced a lot of other music lovers to the collaborations of musicians from around the world performing some of our favorite music. Love n peace

Tedeschi Trucks Band - Midnight in Harlem is a must listen. Derek Trucks is the nephew of Butch Trucks from The Allman Brothers Band. Susan Tedeschi is his wife.

You should do “The Weight” playing for change as well, with Robbie Robertson, the guitarist of The Band and Ringo Starr, drummer of The Beatles. It’s fantastic.
