Classic Rock's GREATEST Intros! PT 1 #shorts #classicrock #ledzeppelin

"Black Dog" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, the opening track on the band's untitled fourth album (1971). The song was released as a single and reached the charts in several countries; however, as was their practice, it was not issued in the United Kingdom. The song was included in Rolling Stone's (US) "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and ranked No. 1 in Q magazine's (UK) "20 Greatest Guitar Tracks".

Composition

"Black Dog" is built around a call and response dynamic between the vocalist and band, with its start and stop a cappella verses inspired by Fleetwood Mac's 1969 song "Oh Well", according to biographer Dave Lewis.[6] The title is a reference to a nameless black Labrador Retriever that wandered around the Headley Grange studios during the recording of the album.[7] The song was recorded with recording engineer Andy Johns at Island Studios on Basing Street in London.[8]

Bassist John Paul Jones, who is credited with writing the main riff, was inspired by Muddy Waters' controversial 1968 album Electric Mud.[9] He added a winding riff and complex rhythm changes,[7] that biographer Keith Shadwick describes as a "clever pattern that turns back on itself more than once, crossing between time signatures as it does."[9] The group had a difficult time with the turnaround, but drummer John Bonham's solution was to play it straight through as if there was no turnaround.[7] In live performances, Bonham eliminated the 5
4 variation so that Robert Plant could perform his a cappella vocal interludes and then have the instruments return at the proper time.[10] For his guitar parts, Jimmy Page used a Gibson Les Paul to record multiple overdubs.[11]

Release
The song was released as a single in the United States on 2 December 1971,[12] in continental Europe (the United Kingdom did not receive the single release),[13] and in Australia with "Misty Mountain Hop" as the B-side.
