From Loudersound.
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have released a live version of When The Leveee Breaks, first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The song, which was made famous when Led Zeppelin reworked it for Led Zeppelin IV, has been part of Plant and Krauss’s set since 2007.
The pair kicked off their North American Can’t Let Go tour at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, OK, earlier this week. Their touring band, which includes guitarist JD McPherson, drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Dennis Crouch, string player Stuart Duncan and multi-instrumentalist Viktor Krauss, can be heard on the live version of When The Levee Breaks. McPherson is also the support act on the tour.
Since the tour was announced in February, Plant and Krauss have added another 10 dates to their schedule. They’ll hook up with Willie Nelson & Family as his Outlaw Music Festival Tour winds its way through the Eastern US, a run of shows that also features Bob Dylan and singer/songwriter Celisse.
The first few shows on the tour have included covers of Led Zeppelin’s Rock And Roll, and The Battle Of Evermore, alongside When The Levee Breaks and Please Read The Letter, which originally appeared on Jimmy Page and Robert Plant’s Walking into Clarksdale album in 1998, and was covered by Plant and Krauss on their debut Raising Sand album in 2007.
“I love them [the old songs] and am very proud of them,” Plant told USA Today this week. “And to get to change them around and to hear that voice next to me, it allows for an exotic overview of the more dramatic elements. At times I’m emotional about it because I’m hearing these songs – they are all beautiful adaptations that I could never have dreamt. It’s a great achievement.”
Raise The Roof, the second album by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, was released in 2021.
