What an incredible version by two remarkably talented musician legends. Well, Alison Krauss will be.

I'm pretty sure it's "Mountain man leave his home" as in, it's so bad even a hermit would leave. I could be wrong though.

@Wottlin Totally agree. T-Bone said in the interview (which is here), he wanted to take them both out of their comfort zone. He did and it's made it special. Saw Zep a number of times, and this is just a different atmosphere and a lot more intimate. And Alison is what angels BETTER sound like in heaven. Slainte.

"...make a monkey man leave his home" is that some not so thinly veiled racism?

You can see what Plant sees in her.. She's a real POA.

BTW - Plant performed this song years before with some guy named... what was it... Neil Young?

It always kills me that no one mentions T-Bone Burnett on the guitar. One of the best producers in the business, and an incredible musician in his own right. When he arranges a song, it's going to be great. Different. Compelling. It's amazing that plant still has the high register at his age.

"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
Later reworked by Led Zepplin 1971.

@shadowofmorgoth They were also influenced by Celtic and English folk music. Bron y aur stomp is an example of that rather than a US blues music type song.
