This song was meant to imitate reggae and its “dub” derivative emerging from Jamaica in the early 1970s. Its genesis is traced to Led Zeppelin’s rehearsals at Stargroves in 1972, when drummer John Bonham started with a beat similar to 1950s doo-wop, and then twisted it into a slight off beat tempo, upon which a reggae influence emerged. The distinctive drum sound was created by placing three microphones a good distance away from Bonham’s drums.
“D’yer Mak’er” is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where all four members share the composer credit. The sleeve on the album also gives tribute to “Rosie and the Originals”, a reference to the doo-wop influence which was evident in the song’s style.
This track, as well as another song entitled “The Crunge”, was initially not taken seriously by many listeners, and some critics reserved their harshest criticism for these two arrangements. In an interview he gave in 1977, Page referred to this negative response:
I didn’t expect people not to get it. I thought it was pretty obvious. The song itself was a cross between reggae and a ’50s number, “Poor Little Fool,” Ben E. King’s things, stuff like that.
Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones has expressed his distaste for the song, suggesting that it started off as a joke and wasn’t thought through carefully enough. However, “D’yer Mak’er” has gathered critical respect in the years since, and has grown into something of a Led Zeppelin classic. Upon the album’s release, Robert Plant was keen to issue the track as a single in the United Kingdom. Atlantic Records went so far as to distribute advance promotional copies to DJs (now valuable collectors’ items). While it was released in the US, and the single peaked at #20 in December 1973, it was ultimately never released in the UK.
This song was never performed live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts, although snatches of it were played during “Whole Lotta Love” during the 1975 North American concert tour and “Communication Breakdown” at the Earls Court shows in the same year.

It’s hard rock version of the reggae from the LZ. One of my favorite LZ
songs (for mention Starway to Heaven is not most of) but it’s most favorite
from the reggae.
Reggae from Zeppelin :)) Good morning! Feel relaxed …

Interestingly, the title track from this album wasn’t on it. It would be
released on their following LP. Zeppelin was cool like that.
Anyway, Side 2, Track 2. I’m out and into a long working weekend! See ya

Skoro tak podkręcamy atmosferę, to czemu by nie bardziej. Niech zapłoną
zmysły, wspomnienia. Do każdego z nas, ta piosenka trafia w sposób
wyjątkowy. Bo w życiu bywają trudne chwile, jeśli chodzi o swoje uczucia. I
każdy coś przeżył wyjątkowego. Coś co pamięta do dziś.
Pozdrawiam.
