Bring It On Home (Sonny Boy Williamson II song)

Sonny Boy Williamson recorded the song on January 11, 1963, in Chicago. He alternates his vocal sections with harmonica phrases, accompanied by Matt "Guitar" Murphy on guitar, Milton Rector on bass guitar, Al Duncan on drums, and either Lafayette Leake or Billy Emerson on organ. AllMusic reviewer Bill Janovitz describes Williamson's harp playing as "subdued" and his vocal delivery as "smooth": "The swinging music chugs like a train, a feeling it is supposed to evoke for the lyrics "Bring It On Home" was released three years later in early 1966, when it was included on the Chess Records Williamson compilation The Real Folk Blues. Chess subsidiary Checker Records also released it as a single, but it did not reach the record charts. ==Led Zeppelin version==

In 1969, English rock band Led Zeppelin recorded a version of "Bring It On Home" for the band's second album Led Zeppelin II. Led Zeppelin performed "Bring It On Home" in concert at different points in their career. A recording from a June 25, 1972, concert in Los Angeles is included on How the West Was Won. The group maintained that they copied parts of the song as an intentional tribute to Williamson, but resolved the matter with an undisclosed cash settlement. On the 2014 Led Zeppelin II reissue, Dixon is listed as the sole songwriter.
