Think about Led Zeppelin and the image coming to mind would be of them
straddling the world as the archetypal 'rock gods', defining the 1970s
like no other artist did. Dig deeper though, and there's a lot more to
Zeppelin than hard rock and bluster, with folk and blues strongly
threading through their catalogue from the very beginning. This book
digs into every Led Zeppelin track recorded during their decade-long
existence before John Bonham's death brought down the curtain, by way of
facts, anecdotes, analysis and a small dose of humour here and there.
From the likes of 'Kashmir', 'Stairway To Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love'
and their ilk, which have entered the public consciousness, down to the
deeper cuts which only the fans will know, this book covers them all,
while also taking a look into the stories behind the often ground
breaking cover art, and the way the albums came to be recorded.
Celebrating the triumphs and the arguable lower points, this is an
alternative history of the band, told via the most important element -
the music itself - which has influenced so many down the years. The
history of led Zeppelin is a wild ride. This book shows you why.
