Description
Led Zeppelin: A Comprehensive History of the Band's Life and Music. In this authoritative biography, Bob Spitz delivers an inside look at the life and career of one of rock music's most iconic bands. With his trademark storytelling flair, Spitz separates myth from reality to provide a detailed account of Led Zeppelin's journey from their early days to their eventual demise. The band's story is one of grand artistic ambition, brute primal force, and cultural shift. From the opening notes of their first album, Led Zeppelin announced itself as something different, blending English folk music with African American blues. Spitz's account of their artistic evolution, set against the backdrop of popular music in the 1960s and 1970s, is both fascinating and thought-provoking. This book provides a thorough reckoning of the band's legacy, revealing what is true and what is myth, often with astonishing and sometimes disturbing results.
