The authorized biography of the most notorious rock manager of all
time, Peter Grant, best known for his work with Led Zeppelin
Peter Grant is the most famous music manager of all time. Often
acknowledged as the "fifth member of Led Zeppelin," Grant's story has
appeared in fragments across countless Zeppelin biographies, but none
has explored who this brilliant and intuitive manager yet flawed and
sometimes dangerous man truly was. No one has successfully captured the
scope of his personality or his long-lasting impact on the music
business. Acclaimed author and journalist Mark Blake seeks to rectify
that.
Bring It On Home is the first book to tell the complete uncensored
story of this industry giant. With support from Grant's family
interviews with Led Zeppelin's surviving band members, and access to
Grant's extensive archive and scores of unpublished material, including
his never-before-published final interview, Blake sheds new light on the
history of Led Zeppelin and on the wider story of rock music in the
1960s and '70s.
Full of new insights into Grant's early life as an actor, wrestler, and
road manager for rock 'n' roll pioneers Chuck Berry and Little Richard;
the formation of Led Zeppelin; his seclusion following the demise of the
band; and his recovery from substance abuse, Bring It On Home reveals
a man who, after the extraordinary highs and lows of a career in rock
'n' roll, found peace and happiness in a more ordinary life. It is a
celebration, a cautionary tale, and a compelling human drama.
