"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song originally recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. Led Zeppelin recorded a cover version of the song for their fourth album, commonly referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV," which was released in 1971.

The Led Zeppelin version of "When the Levee Breaks" features a heavy drum beat played by John Bonham, which has become iconic in the world of rock music. The song also features bluesy guitar riffs and powerful vocals from Robert Plant.

The song was recorded in Headley Grange, a mansion in Hampshire, England, and the drum sound was achieved by placing Bonham's drums at the bottom of a stairwell and using microphones to capture the natural reverb of the space.

"When the Levee Breaks" has been covered by many other artists over the years and is considered a classic of both blues and rock music.
