Led Zeppelin - Travelling Riverside Blues

This weekend moves Tune Of The Day for a new residents, so we will not do anything advanced in music way during this time, we hope that you guys have a full understanding about this, we will be back in full force at some point next week, during the time you get short posts with "a move" theme!

"Travelling Riverside Blues," sometimes called "Mudbone" or "Mud Bone," is a blues song written and recorded in Dallas, Texas by the bluesman Robert Johnson. Johnson's June 20, 1937.

The song is well known for the lyrics:

"I want you to squeeze my lemon
until the juice runs down my leg."

English rock band Led Zeppelin's version of this song was recorded at the BBC studios in Aeolian Hall on June 24, 1969. Jimmy Page dubbed extra guitar tracks onto the track (the main track being played on a 12-string electric guitar, possibly the same one used on the track "Thank You").

It is quite different from the original, and it is more a tribute to Robert Johnson than a straight cover.

"Travelling Riverside Blues" can be found on the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions album, and on the expanded Coda album from The Complete Studio Recordings box set. A promotional video clip was also released in 1990, with outtake footage from the band's 1976 concert film, The Song Remains the Same inter-spliced with other footage from the band's archive. The clip also features a railroad montage, and underwater shots of the Mississippi River.
