Super, all genres of modern music came from this type of Blues/Rock.

I don't agree with your claim that admiration of Canada is really disquised anti-Americanism. People who are against US policies in the world, the occupation of Iraq and support for Israel's murder of innocent Lebanese civilians being two examples, don't need to disguise their anti-Americanism. It's pretty open over here in Europe. Furthermore my opinion of Canadians comes from having lived in the USA for 37 years, much of it not too far from the Canadian border. Perhaps you're too far south?

Don't be surprised if Canadians don't live up to false expectations. Much of the world's admiration of Canada is just anti-Americanism in disguise.

Back to the song. While I like this a lot, the Zep version had a much more ominous and foreboding feel to it that fit the subject matter. This is a bit too lighthearted, especially after recent events.

Galactic closed their Chicago show with this great tune last month.

Christ! No no no, a thousand times NO.

Sweet.

Really enjoying this unique take on a classic rock and roll gem.

No doubt! I don't know who wrote it, but I would recommend the rendition by Memphis Minnie.

Damn!

I did?

Great stuff!!

Unfortunate that the album title leads the neophyte to believe that Zep actually wrote all these songs.

Keep up comments like this and you'll erode the generally fine reputation Canadians have around the world as a wise and tolerant nation. Idiot? The pot and kettle line comes to mind.

According to AMG this was written by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie before WWII.


Can anyone upload that version?

Appears on a Yazoo Roots of Rock CD from 2001...

Song is usuall credited as being written by Led Zeppelin's members collectively.

This one's dedicated to Massachusetts. And why not? I don't think it's inappopriate, just as I didn't think showing movies with the Twin Towers in the New York skyline was inappropriate.
