I was always impressed by the harp in this song - the harp player is listed as "Bun-E Slopes". Anyone know his identity? One of the guys in Dread Zeppelin? Been listening to it for years, and always wondered.
"Bun E Slopes is our blues harpist supreme. Any harmonica heard on a Dread Zep album is blown by Bun E. (real name: Rick Germond). As all you Led Zep-heads know, “Levee…” is a harmonica showcase and Bun E. Slopes burns. Bravura performance. Bun E. is also heard on “The Train Kept A-Rollin.”
Tone is cool. Even cooler are the individual linear ideas - good combo of "same ol' same ol" mixed in with original twists - kept my interest throughout. ---------- The Iceman
