DETROIT - Whoa, we got a "Whole Lotta Truth" with this exceptional Led Zeppelin documentary. "A To Zeppelin: The Story Of Led Zeppelin" explores the formation of the groundbreaking heavy metal band from England. The movie is directed by Mark McLaughlin. The film is filled with interviews with the guitarist Jimmy Page and past session players. The compelling story is told through archival footage, rare photographs, and audio excerpts.
Jimmy Page got his start as a session player for The Kinks, and Joe Cocker. He rubbed elbows with producers, engineers and got a behind the scenes education of album production. It was here where he connected with future Led Zep member John Paul Jones. The two young musicians, (Jimmy was just 13) were heavily influenced by American Blues with Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Leadbelly. Jones was an accomplished musician and knew how to play different instruments. Jimmy Page found a temporary home with the British Blues band The Yardbirds. Jimmy Page had brought heavy riffing and guitar edge into The Yardbirds after filling in. The tenure only lasted 18 months and made quite an impression. After the final tour Page wanted to put a band together with Jones. |
