"Key to the Highway/Trouble in Mind" (or as released on the album, "Key to the Highway/Trouble in Mind (Rough Mix)") is a medley played by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the last track on the reissued version of the album Led Zeppelin III, released in 2014.[1]

Musical structure

"Key to the Highway/Trouble in Mind" features Jimmy Page playing acoustic and slide guitar, and Robert Plant's harmonica with vocals processed through a vibrato amp, sounding like a tremolo effect. This vocal effect was also used on the song "Hats off to (Roy) Harper" that appeared on the original album.

The medley involves combining "Key to the Highway", by Big Bill Broonzy and Charlie Segar, and "Trouble in Mind", by Richard M. Jones.
