Reviews"Bordowitz brings CCR's complex story to life. . . . [He] never takes sides or passes judgment yet brilliantly illuminates the tragedy of CCR's lost potential." - Library Journal on Bad Moon Rising, "I still remember listening to Led Zeppelin's debut album for the first time, the same year we recorded "Spirit In The Sky". We knew it was a game changer. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection of interviews with Led Zeppelin band members. Highly recommended."- Russell DaShiell, writer, producer, lead guitarist, "This is about as unvarnished a glance at the Led Zeppelin phenomenon as there can be -- it's literally Led Zeppelin talking about Led Zeppelin -- which makes it fascinating in and of itself." --Rebeat Magazine, "When Hank first approached me about my Led Zeppelin coverage from 1973 -- back when their gig at Tampa Stadium was crowned the biggest show by a single band in rock history -- I knew this wasn't gonna be just another Zep potboiler. Hank is a tenacious researcher, an obsessive rock fan, and serves a mean lunch. It's all good." --Arthur Levy, rock historian and archivist, "An intriguing collection . . . absolutely fascinating. . . . Every entry tells the reader something of interest." - Goldmine on Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right, "Bordowitz provides evenhanded treatment of highly charged issues . . . persuasively demonstrating that CCR has earned their reputation as one of the most important bands in rock history." - Publishers Weekly on Bad Moon Rising, "When Hank first approached me about my Led Zeppelin coverage from 1973 -- back when their gig at Tampa Stadium was crowned the biggest show by a single band in rock history -- I knew this wasn't gonna be just another Zep potboiler. Hank is a tenacious researcher, an obsessive rock fan, and serves a mean lunch. It's all good." --Arthur Levy, rock historian and archivist, "A great read for casual readers and longtime fans." - Library Journal on Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right, "This telling is refreshing and does the unthinkable: it makes Led Zeppelin, beloved to the point of worship, actually likeable ." --PopMatters, "You'll find a trove of interviews with guitarist Jimmy Page, singer/lyricist Robert Plant, bassist John Paul Jones and the late drummer John Bonham going back to 1957, and covering every phase of the band's evolution...Readers, even hard-core Ledheads, will likely learn much that is new from "Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin."" -- The Record & Herald News, "Offers a rich variety of angles on the Marley legend." - Relix on Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right, "I still remember listening to Led Zeppelin's debut album for the first time, the same year we recorded "Spirit In The Sky". We knew it was a game changer. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection of interviews with Led Zeppelin band members. Highly recommended."-- Russell DaShiell, writer, producer, lead guitarist, "If Bad Moon Rising isn't 'the saddest story in rock 'n' roll,' . . . it certainly comes within kissing distance." -USA Today on Bad Moon Rising, "This telling is refreshing and does the unthinkable: it makes Led Zeppelin, beloved to the point of worship, actually likeable ." --PopMatters, "This is about as unvarnished a glance at the Led Zeppelin phenomenon as there can be -- it's literally Led Zeppelin talking about Led Zeppelin -- which makes it fascinating in and of itself." --Rebeat Magazine, "I still remember listening to Led Zeppelin's debut album for the first time, the same year we recorded "Spirit In The Sky". We knew it was a game changer. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection of interviews with Led Zeppelin band members. Highly recommended."- Russell DaShiell, writer, producer, lead guitarist "[ Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin ] shows a softer side of the quintessential "heavy" band of the early 1970s. Much of the book focuses on guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant , who emerge as sensitive and articulate, not the groupie-ravaging louts they were portrayed as when young. Bordowitz must've used a Wayback Machine to travel backwards in time and find some of these interviews in obscure little fanzines." --Creative Loafing "Bordowitz did his job by making Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin a quick, interesting read, and pulling back the veil on one of rock's most influential acts." --PopDose, "Often illuminating . . . never dull or boring." - Nashville City Paper on Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right

SynopsisThere are lots of wild stories about Led Zeppelin--some true, some false. Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin dishes up the facts, in the band's own words, as they saw them. It shoots down the folklore and assumptions about Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham and presents the band's full history, from when Jimmy Page was playing skiffle to the day the band was honored by the Kennedy Center for their contribution to American and global culture. Any band is an amalgam of the players, but in very special cases, those players form an entity unto itself. Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin captures the ideas of all of the band's members at the time they created classics like "Whole Lotta Love," "Stairway to Heaven," and "Kashmir" but also encapsulates the idea of the band itself as it crafted the music that changed pop culture. In the process, the book offers insight into what made Led Zeppelin tick--and what made it the most popular band in the world. In a series of over fifty interviews from 1957 to 2012, many never before seen in print, this is the story of Led Zeppelin, as it happened, told by the people who knew it best--the members of the band.
