Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks
Quote:
|
Written about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, set in motion decades of musical inspiration. The standard remained nestled solidly in the blues canon until 1970 when Led Zeppelin found its muse in the number. The English quartet reinvented the song as a riff-fest with a head-bobbing lurch.
