John Bohnam. The 70s.
(Thanks to Gnobby for the borrowed login till I get post clearance.)
A maiden Q for the humble Friar at the True Grit site was a daunting assignment, but inspiration emerged from an unusual source. From the archives of rock history:
Setting up John Bonham’s enormous kit in the hallway beneath a 3-story staircase produced the crushing intro and gut-punch drum reverb for the Led Zep song, When The Levee Breaks. The song was actually a cover of an American blues song about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
These are not just interesting facts. For this episode of True Grit, the Pax felt the crushing gut punch of both sides of the Shelley Lake Levee (i.e., dam). And the gushing rains that drenched the Levee’s hillsides produced a flooded gloom that led to True Grit blues.
