Playing for Change just dropped its latest global musical effort , a fresh new take on When The Levee Breaks anchored by Led Zeppelin bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones.

The song originally recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie nearly a century ago to commemorate the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the closing track of Zeppelins untitled 1971 album, aka Led Zeppelin IV.

Along with Jones, the new version features Stephen Perkins of Janes Addiction, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, along with more than a dozen musicians from seven nations playing remotely:
