Episode twenty-seven is up now! Today's song is When The Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin.
I discuss how the song is and isn't really a cover, and the iconic drum sound of John Bonham.

Having written a paragraph I’m particularly proud of, I got lost in finding something to so that I could keep pace. I reached for one of my favorites, “When The Levee Breaks” done by Led Zeppelin.
Like most things I like, it has a history that I’ve drilled down into. This song just drives through emotion, plodding through the mud with purpose, with a steady rhythm regardless of what comes. It’s grounding. You’re in the ‘suck’, but you keep moving at a very primal level.
The history goes back to 1927.
The Great Mississippi flood of 1927 has a pretty thorough Wikipedia page. It was the most destructive river flood in the United States. Imagine 27,000 square miles in water up to 30 feet in depth. 500 dead, 630,000 people affected. Population density was lower then.
It’s a song born of, “well this sucks, but I’ll make it through”.

"Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good /
No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good /
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move..." - "When the Levee Breaks," by #MemphisMinnie and #KansasJoeMcCoy in 1929, covered by #LedZeppelin in 1971.The #Flooding Will Come “No Matter What”
The complex, contradictory and heartbreaking process of American #ClimateMigration is underway.
April 11, 2024
"As the U.S. gets hotter, its #coastal waters rise higher, its #wildfires burn larger and its #droughts last longer, the notion that humankind can triumph over #nature is fading, and with it, slowly, goes the belief that self-determination and personal preference can be the driving factors in choosing where to live. Scientific modeling of these pressures suggest a sweeping change is coming in the shape and location of communities across America, a change that promises to transform the country’s politics, culture and economy.
"It has already begun. More Americans are displaced by catastrophic #ClimateChange driven storms and floods and fires every year. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, the global nongovernmental organization researchers rely on to measure the number of people forcibly cast out of their homes by natural disasters, counted very few displaced Americans in 2009, 2010 and 2011, years in which few natural disasters struck the #UnitedStates. But by 2016 the numbers had begun to surge, with between 1 million and 1.7 million newly displaced people annually. The disasters and heat waves each year have become legion. But the statistics show the human side of what has appeared to be a turning point in both the severity and frequency of wildfires and #hurricanes. As the number of displaced people continues to grow, an ever-larger portion of those affected will make their moves permanent, migrating to safer ground or supportive communities. They will do so either because a singular disaster like the 2018 wildfire in Paradise, California — or Hurricane Harvey, which struck the Texas and Louisiana coasts — is so destructive it forces them to, or because the subtler 'slow onset' change in their surroundings gradually grows so intolerable, uncomfortable or inconvenient that they make the decision to leave, proactively, by choice. In a 2021 study published in the journal Climatic Change, researchers found that 57% of the Americans they surveyed believed that changes in their climate would push them to consider a move sometime in the next decade."

En la historia del blues y el rock, a veces se nos olvida que muchas de sus pioneras fueron mujeres.
Mujeres que abrieron camino y que rompieron barreras, y cuya influencia marcó a muchas bandas incluso decadas después.
Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, Memphis Minnie.

Here's a little blues for the New Year
Minnie - Nothing In Rambling
Memphis Minnie was probably the most popular female country blues singer of her time, switching from acoustic to electric blues. She was massively prolific leaving a huge catalogue of songs, and influenced many later blues singers.
