}} 'Black Country Woman' is the fourteenth song on [[England|English [[rock music|rock band [[Led Zeppelin's 1975 album [[Physical Graffiti. It was originally intended to be part of the [[Houses of the Holy album, which had been released two years earlier. Overview'Black Country Woman' was an [[Acoustic music|acoustic song recorded in the back garden of [[Stargroves, in 1972 (around the same time as '[[D'yer Mak'er').[1] At the beginning of the track, [[Audio engineering|recording engineer [[Eddie Kramer can be heard saying, 'Shall we roll it Jimmy?' followed by 'Don't want to get this airplane on' about an [[Fixed-wing aircraft|aeroplane which is heard flying overhead, to which [[Robert Plant replies 'Nah, leave it, yeah.' Originally the song was subtitled 'Never Ending Doubting Woman Blues'. This was a reference to a final spoken tag left off the finished version which had Plant proclaiming 'What's the matter with you mama, never-ending, nagging, doubting woman blues.'[2] '[[Black Country' refers to the area around [[Birmingham in which Robert Plant was brought up. Live performances'Black Country Woman' was rarely played live at [[Led Zeppelin concerts, but was merged into a medley with '[[Bron-Y-Aur Stomp' on the band's [[concert tour of the [[United States of America in 1977. For this arrangement, John Paul Jones played an [[upright bass. This song was performed by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss live during their tour supporting the duo's album Raising Sand.[3] Formats and track listingsSee '[[Trampled Under Foot' single. Credits
