	simply abortion (???)

No Picture Thomas Average	#2 by Thomas Reuter at May 18, 1973 at 10:55 AM EST
	Man, I haven't heard this song in about 2 years. I thought it was about black woman in the country, though. Then I rememebered that Led Zep wasn't American so most likely not.

No Picture Grunge Hamster Lead Player	#3 by Grunge Hamster at Jul 9, 1979 at 7:19 PM EST
	I heard that if you listen closely you can actually hear an airplane flying overhead during thnis song.

No Picture tory Average	#4 by tory lopez at Aug 7, 1995 at 7:48 PM EST
	Yes, the Black Country is the West Midlands of England. Plant and Bonham grew up there and played together in the pubs as members of "The Band of Joy". I saw Plant perform this song in Toronto on one of his solo tours back in 1988 (Now and Zen?). He was great on the harmonica and nailed it perfectly! There was a standing ovation, and I think Plant sort-of realized that, while his solo work was pretty good... his Zeppelin material was alot better!

No Picture Matt Average	#5 by Matt at Apr 5, 2006 at 8:19 AM EST
	I love the little intro of this song. I basically just love the overall mood of this song

No Picture Chris Average	#6 by Chris Prescott at Dec 26, 2006 at 9:56 PM EST
	The black country is a part of the west middlands in england it gets it's name from all the coal mines that used to be there. There is a famous pub were the band members of zeppelin used to drink. I heard that plant teaches at a local collage. i mean how cool would it be to be taught music by plant. well this gives little insight into what the songs about but might give it some background.

No Picture Scott Average	#7 by Scott at Mar 23, 2007 at 5:23 AM EST
	they actually recorded this song in Mick Jagger's back yard!
