The song has proved popular with more recent blues musicians. A verse from "Traveling Riverside Blues" was incorporated into the version of Johnson's " Cross Road Blues " recorded by the rock group Cream , and Eric Clapton made a more faithful version of the song in his 2004 album, '' Me And Mr. Johnson '', along with several other Robert Johnson classics. Led Zeppelin 's version of this song is quite different from the original, and it's more a tribute to Robert Johnson than a cover. The song showcases a riff by Jimmy Page (also in open G tuning), and the in the lyrics Robert Plant quotes many Robert Johnson songs, like in the lines "She studies evil all the time", from " Kind Hearted Woman Blues ", and "Why don't you come on in my kitchen", from "Come On In My Kitchen" (which is heard during the song's solo). The song can be found on the '' Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions '' album and on the expanded '' Coda '' album from the '' Complete Studio Recordings '' Box Set . Conversely, parts of Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues" are used as lyrics in Led Zeppelin's " The Lemon Song ". SAMPLE EXTERNAL LINKS |
