Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have unveiled their live rendition of the classic "When the Levee Breaks." Originally brought to life by Memphis Minnie in 1929, the song gained monumental fame with Led Zeppelin's powerful cover in 1971.
Now, Plant and Krauss breathe new life into the song, showcasing their unique synergy and reverence for its storied past. This is the duo's first musical offering since their acclaimed 2021 album, "Raise the Roof."
The song remains a staple in their performances, a testament to Robert Plant's lasting influence; it was he who introduced the song to his Led Zeppelin bandmates, culminating in its prominent placement as the final track on their 1971 untitled album.
