“Black Dog“ is built around a call and response dynamic between the vocalist and band, with its start and stop a cappella verses inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s 1969 song “Oh Well“, according to biographer Dave Lewis.[6] The title is a reference to a nameless black Labrador Retriever that wandered around the Headley Grange studios during the recording of the album.[7] The song was recorded with recording engineer Andy Johns at Island Studios on Basing Street in London.[8]
Bassist John Paul Jones, who is credited with writing the main riff, was inspired by Muddy Waters’ controversial 1968 album Electric Mud.[9] He added a winding riff and complex rhythm changes,[7] that biographer Keith Shadwick describes as a “clever pattern that turns back on itself more than once, crossing between time signatures as it does.“[9] The group had a difficult time with the turnaround, but drummer John Bonham’s solution was to play it straight through as if there was no turnaround.[7] In live performances, Bonham eliminated the 5
4 variation so that Robert Plant could perform his a cappella vocal interludes and then have the instruments return at the proper time.[10] For his guitar parts, Jimmy Page used a Gibson Les Paul to record multiple overdubs.[11]
Release
The song was released as a single in the United States on 2 December 1971,[12] in continental Europe (the United Kingdom did not receive the single release),[13] and in Australia with “Misty Mountain Hop“ as the B-side.
