I’ve always found this song a bit creepy, with the vocal distortion and whatall. Page and Plant both sound like they’re playing from the bottom of an accursed well. Which kind of makes me think of how much scarier The Ring would be if it were Jimmy Page crawling out of that well like a demon. For all the haunted sounding effects, this one shouldn’t be taken too seriously. It’s just a jam of tossed off blues and trad lines. Also has nothing to do with Roy Harper, except that he was such a good buddy and the guys though it’d be nice to tip their hats. One of their less cosmic numbers, but still creepy as fuck.
