Led Zeppelin IV, 1971, is one of Rock's most iconic albums. Think this one most typifies Zeppelin's mysticism.

Yes, that is the original album cover. At this time it was their 4th album and it didn't have no name. This is a wonderful rendition of country blues song made by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie. One of the many things about this song that stands out (for me) is John Bonham's drum work. The beats are primal and powerful and once it gots ya, it won't let go.

The picture on the album cover is a painting Robert Plant (the singer) bought in a flea market.

About that harmonica, it's meant to be a train whistle. If you're not from there, you don't know that there are train tracks between Highway 61 and the levee (in the Mississippi Delta). On the other side of the levee is the Mississippi River. So those people who were flooded out in 1927 had heard that train going by every day of their lives. Now, you get the sound of it, the feel of it, the heat, the water that didn't stop, and the train that could take them out of there. Crying didn't help and praying didn't do no good, as the song says. The levee was breached. People were homeless, had nothing left.They didn't have much to begin with. Lots of the men, especially, hopped a train to Chicago where they could get work. They'd send money home and then their families could move up where they were. That train and its whistle were both a way out and a reminder of those who left & that they could go too, if they had to.

@jenzee34

Correcting myself: in 1927, it still would've been Old Highway 61, which ran right alongside those train tracks. It's close to where Robert Johnson lived and a bit north of the crossroads where "legend" says he sold his soul. He didn't, of course. People like their mysteries, though.

You're exactly right, castanza128. When blues musical duo Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie wrote "When the Levee Breaks", the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was still fresh in people's memories. The flooding affected 26,000 square miles of the Mississippi Delta- hundreds were killed and hundreds of thousands of residents were forced to evacuate (hence the reference to "going to Chicago"). The song's lyrics recount the personal toll on a man who lost his home and family.

It’s harmonica, and it’s Robert Plant (lead singer) playing the hell out of it ! And while the song *could* be taken metaphorically, it’s about the actual Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, a disaster of biblical proportions.

I never see this one requested for reactions though. It definitely needs to be!

Led Zeppelin did a lot of old blues covers but made them their own.

Yes, that VERY soulful harmonica is prominently featured and played by lead singer, Robert Plant. "When the Levee Breaks" is based on the great Mississippi flood of 1927, in which MANY thousands of people (black, white, etc.) were displaced and had to move north to places like Chicago (mentioned in the song), etc., because when the levees broke, the flood essentially destroyed everything in the area. Zeppelin (and especially Plant) was HEAVILY influenced by the old classic American blues performers who were based in that region, so this and many of Zeppelin's songs were an integral part of the band's blues sound. Glad you came upon Zeppelin, and hope you enjoy more of this legendary band. P.S. if you dig the harmonica, listen to the Zeppelin song "Bring it on Home" as there is an explosion after the harmonica intro. Peace :)

Led Zeppelin was a Brittish band that paid homage to their African American music heroes. When the Levee breaks was a song written by the legendary Robert Johnson, King of the Delta blues. Robert Johnson was a bluesman from Lousiana. He realy was referring to an actual levee. Because of the terrible racism in Lousiana and all of the South , African American people were encouraged to head to Chicago where they could prosper. Therefore we have Texas blues, Delta blues, and Chicago blues.

Led Zeppelin is the coolest!!!

I was waiting for the stank face to kick in 😆 This song is the groove! Hard to sit still when it’s on. Love your reactions to the soul and the lyrics. Also, your wife is a natural beauty.

Steph and Jay! Blessed to see you today! Love this song, it makes my bones ache it is so Bluesy!

My grandmother and great-grandfather lived through that storm. The same storm that caused the levees to break on Lake Okeechobee caused the levees to break in Mississippi. Thousands upon thousands of people died after that storm. It was right in the middle of harvest season South of Lake Okeechobee and everyone working in the fields had to run for their lives. (It's definitely a harmonica, play by Robert Plant himself.)

Guys the drums were recorded in an old house with a real high ceiling giving a natural echo if you listen again which gives the track its special sound.

Hell yeah... great song from the mighty Zep! By the way it's awesome when you're baked.. trust me I know... lol.

It was the drums that drew me to this song and still does 45 yrs later.

Both of you are are boss and so is Zeppelin. They're speaking peace to me- just with a heavy flare

The song is literally about a levee breaking and losing your farm.

How come when you've "lost the farm" you're just poor, when you've "bet the farm" it could go either way, but when you've "bought the farm" you're dead?

@@estoy1001 : It was once a fairly common practice for a widow to use the life insurance money to pay off the mortgage. So when ol' Otis died, at least he bought the farm.

I enjoy this video you guys. You let it play through and stopped it around the middle to do a review on it, then you let it continue till it ended with another review. Now that was enjoyable

Nice delta blues influence. Love this track. Def in my Top 5 Led Zep songs.

Best band that ever did it. All four band members were grandmasters of their craft. Rock Blues . They had more talent than every band in history combined. Greatest Guitarist Greatest Bass Player Greatest Drummer and Greatest Singer in RockHistory

That's the album cover. The 4th Led Zeppelin album has no name. Just that image. So feel free to interpret it however you want!

Led Zeppelin IV

It may have been about a Mississippi flood, but I loved your metaphor theory.

About the picture (from wikipedia) The inside illustration, entitled "The Hermit", painted by Barrington Coleby (credited to Barrington Colby MOM on the album sleeve),[30] was influenced by the design of the card of the same name in the Rider-Waite tarot deck.

Best damn Zeppelin Drum sound! I'm spaming this on every "When the levee breaks" reaction lol. I freaking love this song!

Yes its the original cover,but the album is untitled but its called led Zeppelin 4

Yes that is the original album cover.

Led for the head! Most of Led Zeppelin songs revolve around the blues. They put their modern day twist on the blues back in the 60s, making Led Zeppelin one of the Greatest bands ever ! When I was a kid I went to the movie theater to see their movie The Song Remains The Same with my older sister and a bunch of her friends. The place was packed and it was like a real concert, everyone was getting high in there, nothing the theater could do unless they shut it down and make everyone leave. Gotta love the 60s an 70s !

You have only scratched the surface! Gonna be a hell of journey! Keep listening to Led Zeppelin! So much to discover! You will get plenty of suggestions but my suggestion would be to start with the first album and work your thru them all in order!
