@@richardfalcon6033 ahhhh that's interesting. Well I'm gearing up to buy that once done with this album on reactions so I look forward to checking that out! Thanks for the comment!
And Now you know where Zep got a lot of their influence from... This is a cover of a Muddy Waters Bluees song... and Roger SLAYS it with the Harmonica. And back in the sixties the harmonica and Hammond Organ (Which you heard John Paul Jones play earlier in the song).. were staples of a blues song.. (And nookie too... LOL ) But of course Zep had to to take the 12 bar blues and make it their own didn't they.... And this is from their DEBUT album... hell it was good when I first heard this.... Robert and Jimmy did a lot of phrase call and response between the voice and guitar. Especially live. Keep on Rocking young lad...!!
Classic Willie Dixon blues song. Most of those british rockers were influenced by american blues from the fifties and before. You're def gonna hear more blues from Led Zepp.
Ha! YAY Yesss **YOU** are one of the ONLY reactors to actually catch the **Lil Laugh** there some say it is Bonham me i am not sure who it is BUT i just freakin **Luvit** whomever it is! & just **YUM** to this Naaaasty Beautiful song
This song is a reworking of the song by blues greats Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Earl Hooker. Zep loved putting a hard edge on blues songs and changing them musically, making them their own and this is a filthy "bump and grind". FYI, when Robert sings along with the guitar, that's called a "call and response" and is a common feature of blues music; something which you'll often hear in their songs. This was their debut album and I love how this song gave each performer a little bit of a spotlight to "introduce" themselves, so to speak. So, you had a bit of harmonica from Robert, a bit of organ from bassist John Paul Jones, a bit of gritty guitar from Jimmy, and a bit of thunder from John Bonham. Each member had a variety of influences; Jimmy's influences include rock and roll artists like Ricky Nelson, and Scotty Moore (Elvis' guitarist), but he also listened to blues and other genres. Some of Jonesy's are jazz, blues, and classical music. Some of Bonzo's include Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and Max Roach but he also loved Motown and R&B. Plant is a big Elvis fan and also a huge fan of various blues legends. Of course, this isn't a comprehensive list of influences but it gives an idea.
Really appreciate the info, helps give me a better insight and backstory to this piece! Also good to learn the call and response, I didn't know ot was an actual thing just a happenstance of timing during the song 🤣🤦♂️
@@MusicForTheSoulReactions You're very welcome. I think you have a fairly good ear and decent understanding of the musical elements, considering you're new to this band. You're doing well with it all.🙂
Page & Plant are excellent with call & response, this is the song I think first time listeners should hear, it shows their talents. So amazing to think they were only together about 2 months when they recorded this album. They all are amazing, but yes Plants amazing vocals are the icing on the delicious cake. He always uses them to suit each song perfectly. I’m here for your amazing Led Zeppelin journey, thanks for your reaction.
My friend from the UK, who introduced me to LZ I, called this song "humping music" for obvious reasons. Like much of their early music, both the lyrics and the music were overtly sexual. Looking forward to you getting to I Can't Quit You, Babe on this album, The Lemon Song on LZ II, and Since I've Been Loving You on LZ III. Some of their other amazing blues-rock numbers.
Two things I'll note for you as a lifer Lead Head - Watch "The song remains the same" documentary after you have listened to the catalog. It'll show you a lot of behind the scenes stuff including their legendary manager Peter Grant and John Bonham racing his dragster! Second - I love the fact that fate put Led Zeppelin together (and Black Sabbath) in that Jimmy Page and JPJ were looking for a singer for the new band they were forming and sought out Terry Reid who turned them down (Thankfully for us) and recommended Robert Plant who in turn was friends with John Bonham who nobody wanted to play with "because he played too hard"
Greetings from Canada. Blues Rock is the concept towards which you're struggling. In the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
I know Page said that Chuck Berry was really influential. Im sure there are tons more. Atm I can't think of anyone they mentioned. But. Elvis, John Lee Hooker ect. All the great guys, you can hear it in there. Jpj is so underrated. It's crazy how amazing these guys were. Take care buddy. I hope you can get all the magic that is Zeppelin!
You realize , my friend, ( Steve, isn’t it?) with the albums, and then the live performances ( both audio and video) you’ve got a two year journey ahead at least at your current pace. Enjoy the journey! 😁
@@helenespaulding7562 when you say it like that, it seems quite the task doesn't it 🤣🥵. Hopefully I'll pick up the pace, but I must say if it's going to take 2 years, what a 2 years of music they will be giving me!
Zeppelin are a cut above anything before and after... yeah robert plant seemed too have a few problems with the ladies... the greatest singer frontman ....ever.....take care mate
Even the deep cuts are great. Zep caught a lot of grief ripping of the old blues masters who influenced them, like Willie Dixson and Muddy Waters. But I think they did us a favor bringing attention to artists forgotten. But they also could have shared some royalties to be fair. As for Plant's vocals, there is someone who out "Plant"s him, Chris Cornell from Soundgarden. IMO, Chris was the GOAT of rock vocals. Hopefully you get to react to them. Some songs - Rusty Cage, Blackhole Sun, Outshine. US Roadie 1 signing out.
While Chris, imo, does not outshine Rob, I want reactions to tracks from Badmotorfinger or Loud Love. ❤ Those albums rocked my early intro to Chris. 4 walled-world or Wooden Jesus too. RIP.
Imo Chris was one of the best. But honestly, for blues rock, I don’t think anyone matched Plant from 1968 to about 1972 when he had his first voice injury. Plant post 1973 was still outstanding as a singer and frontman , but then you had several contenders for equal status over the years…..Stephen Tyler certainly, David Coverdale, and yes, Chris Cornell. But I think Plant was the OG for that style ( Roger Daltry notwithstanding) I do not include singers like Mercury, Paul Rodgers or Steve Perry in this list because their styles were totally different.
All I'm going to say is I've seen Zep and Soundgarden live. Chris never sounded off. Robert on the other hand...and there are enough bootlegs out there to support what I'm saying...I love Zep, but be honest folks.
@@Pcrimson1 “sounded off”? You mean flat? I agree, as I said, post 1973 Robert had allot of trouble with his voice and it was not reliable. I am sure that some nights it was pretty shot but they didn’t want to cancel. Y the time Chris came along, people knew allot more about how to care for you voice and to not be stupid about it. Robert was kinda stupid about it. Those were the Wild West days. He’s very lucky he’s had the solo career he’s had. I’m certain that Chris’ voice was more reliable as you say.
@@helenespaulding7562 One thing I will say, Plant has had an extrodinary solo career. And his other projects (Band of Joy, Alison Kruass, etc.) are amazing.Chris was on his way as well (Audioslave, solo work, etc..). Its a shame we won't see how much his legacy would have grown and evolve.
Well my friend, I believe the type of song structure you are trying to explain is called ''12 bar blues'' with which there are many classic tunes.. You should check out ZZ TOP - TUSH! Irish Roadie Colm! 🤘😎🤘
@@coheed1000 oooo zz top, no one has recommended them yet, I loved that song sharp dressed man, it's the only one I know of theirs so would love to see more of them and those stunning beards!!
This is not only blues inspired, this IS blues in all it's essence.
You will understand the abrupt ending when you listen to the vinyl.

Led Zeppelin ❤
You are most welcome 😊
Live Album...Song Remains The Same...pinnacle from the GOAT.
Love it lets keep The Led Zeppelin Rolling it feels good to get the Led Out
God keep going!! I love Zeppelin!!! Robert on that harmonica!!
One of the best blues songs ever. That guitar solo is hypnotic.
Designed to go right down your spine, especially while under the influence of certain substances.
@@stuBdoc specific substances, yes...
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY can pummel you into submission like Led Zeppelin.

Robert Plant plays a really mean harmonica!
Kinetic Playground, Chicago. '69.
As Jimmy Page once said, it is a marriage of Blues, Hard Rock and Acoustic music.
