Finding Zoso: Discovering the Music of Jimmy Page: "The Lemon Song"

The third track off of "Led Zeppelin II", "The Lemon Song" is a new take on an Howlin' Wolf's enigmatic track "Killing Floor. Howlin' Wolf recorded his song in 1964 and released it as a single under the legendary Chess Record label. The title of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" alludes to a slaughterhouse which he uses as a metaphor for a rocky relationship. Blues icon, and guitar legend Hubert Sumlin, who unfortunately passed away just this last year, appears on guitar for this legendary number. "Killing Floor" would go on to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1993.

A number of artists have covered this legendary song with the killer riff. Jimi Hendrix was a noted fan of the song and incorporated it into his live sets. Indeed in 1966, when Hendrix arrived in England and sat in with Eric Clapton's band Cream, the song Hendrix chose to play that night was "Killing Floor" Numerous examples of Hendrix's version of the song can be heard on various live album releases issued after his death, including "The BBC Sessions", and "Jimi Plays Monterey". White Chicago bluesman, Mike Bloomfield covered the song with his band Electric Flag for the album "A Long Time Comin'", and legendary blues guitarist Albert King produced a version of his own in 1969 for his album, "Years Gone By".
The Legendary Howlin' Wolf
Led Zeppelin recorded their version of the song at Mystic Studios in Los Angeles during their second tour of the United States in 1969. The song itself was recorded basically live in the studio with the whole band performing together. An astounding fact about the song is Robert Plant's echo on the song was not created electronically, but rather was an effect of the environment he recorded the vocal take in as well as the placement of the microphones.

The song itself is rife with sexual innuendo with the use of a lemon substituting for a certain male body part. Plant took the line "Squeeze my lemon, until the juice runs down my leg." from the Robert Johnson song "Travelling Riverside Blues". It is alleged that Johnson himself stole the idea for the lyric from Arthur McKay who recorded a song titled "She Squeezed My Lemon" that was released the same year as Johnson's song.
Robert Johnson, The Original Lemon Squeezer
Unfortunately for the group and even more unfortunate for the song's original writer, Led Zeppelin neglected to give Howlin' Wolf a credit for writing "The Lemon Song". The band was sued by Arc Music, the corporation that owned the rights to Howlin' Wolf's music, in 1972. The case was ultimately settled out of court and Wolf received a check for roughly $45,000 and a written credit for all subsequent releases of the song.

For this song, I elected to use my trusty Gibson Les Paul Classic plugged into my Marshall Haze 40. So let's get to it! In form it's basically just an old school blues song, taking that classic Howlin' Wolf riff, and adding a little accent. Not too difficult, but not all that easy either.
