Jimmy Page – Magus .. Magician .. Man, George Case

The first ever biography of Led Zeppelin’s legendary guitarist and producer. Never before has the story of rock ‘n’ roll’s most enigmatic and influential icon been told in such sharp detail from the heady days of swinging London in the 1960s, when Page was a hot-handed session man, through the bombast, beauty and blues of Led Zeppelin – and the wanton binges and orgies that would come to define rock excess. Beginning with Page’s childhood and traveling across the fantastical landscapes of the Sunset Strip, Kashmir, Clarksdale and Bron-y-Aur, through near crippling drug addiction, the death of John Bonham, and Page’s re-emergence in the Firm and later with Black Crowes, author George Case takes on the facts and the myths of Jimmy Page and his music, unveiling his deeply spiritual – and sometimes dark – personal and artistic dimensions. Paperback, 261 pages.
