who plays the harmonica on when the levee breaks
When the Levee Breaks Page and John Paul Jones based their guitar and bass lines on the original song.[12] However, they do not follow its twelve-bar blues I–IV–V–I structure, but instead use a one-chord or modal approach to give it a droning sound.[1] Plant uses many of the lyrics, but takes a different melodic approach.[13] He also adds a harmonica part; when mixing, a backward echo effect was created, whereby the echo is heard ahead of the source.[11]
Summertime Blues "Summertime Blues" is a song co-written and recorded by American rockabilly artist Eddie Cochran.[2] It was written by Cochran and his manager Jerry Capehart.

It has been covered by many artists, including being a number-one hit for country music artist Alan Jackson, and scoring notable hits in versions by The Who, Blue Cheer and Brian Setzer, the latter of whom recorded his version for the 1987 film La Bamba, where he portrayed Cochran. Jimi Hendrix performed it in concert.[3][4][5][6]
