About this ebook
This expanded edition of Led Zeppelin: All the Albums, All the Songs breaks down one of the world’s most prolific bands—track by track, album by album.
Formed by the unlikely alliance of two ace London studio musicians and two bar-band bumpkins from the north, Led Zeppelin went on to create the template for the modern marauding rock ‘n’ roll band. Though Zeppelin is often described as “heavy,” any true fan will tell you that the band’s catalog is actually a complex amalgam of blues, psychedelia, rock, folk, and country that reflect the specific influences carried by each of Led Zeppelin’s four members.
Revised to include rarities, outtakes, and B-sides from their storied catalog, veteran music journalist Martin Popoff picks apart each of songs in exquisite detail, and, for the first time ever, he analyzes the circumstances that led to their creation, the recording processes, the historical contexts, and more.
“Extraordinarily thorough descriptions and analysis of every track on Led Zeppelin’s nine original studio LPs.” —No Depression: The Journal of Roots Music
“For the fan who’s about the music and not the B.S., All the Albums, All the Songs is the perfect book.” —The Current Rock & Roll Book Club
“It’s a joy to rediscover such a familiar group through someone else’s (lively) ears, and the author is a charming guide with a real knack for description.” —Spectrum Culture
