When you listen to songs like "Stairway to Heaven," "Dazed and Confused," and "Kashmir," you just know there are great stories behind them. More than 50 years after their first practice in a Soho basement, Led Zeppelin continues to fascinate listeners with their eclectic music and often cryptic lyrics. Illustrated with dozens of color photographs, this monumental look at the band's collected songs offers the inside scoop on how these classics were written and recorded. Bursting with information, this book travels to the Welsh poorhouse that served as a studio, reveals who crafted the psychedelic interlude of "Whole Lotta Love," and explains John Bonham's resonant drum sound in "When the Levee Breaks."
