Peter Grant, the most notorious rock manager of all time, is the focus of the authorized biography, Bring It On Home. Grant is best known for his work with the legendary band Led Zeppelin, often referred to as the "fifth member" of the group. Despite his immense impact on the music industry, Grant's personal story has largely remained untold, until now.
Acclaimed author and journalist Mark Blake seeks to rectify this oversight with his comprehensive and uncensored account of Grant's life and career. With the support of Grant's family, interviews with Led Zeppelin's surviving members, and access to Grant's extensive personal archive and unpublished material, including his final interview, Blake provides new insights into the history of Led Zeppelin and the broader story of rock music in the 1960s and 1970s.
The book delves into Grant's early life, exploring his experiences as an actor, wrestler, and road manager for pioneering rock 'n' roll artists such as Chuck Berry and Little Richard. It then chronicles the formation of Led Zeppelin and Grant's pivotal role in shaping the band's success. The narrative also explores Grant's seclusion following the demise of Led Zeppelin and his personal journey towards recovery from substance abuse, ultimately finding peace and happiness in a more ordinary life.
Bring It On Home is a multifaceted work that celebrates Grant's extraordinary achievements, while also serving as a cautionary tale about the challenges and excesses of the music industry. It is a compelling human drama that offers a unique perspective on the legendary band Led Zeppelin and the larger-than-life figure who was instrumental in their success.
Throughout the book, Blake's storytelling and attention to detail bring Grant's complex and often contradictory personality to life. The reader is taken on a captivating journey, exploring the highs and lows of a remarkable career in rock 'n' roll, and ultimately gaining a deeper understanding of the man behind the legend.
In conclusion, Bring It On Home is a must-read for fans of Led Zeppelin, rock music enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intriguing and often untold stories that lie behind the scenes of the music industry. It is a comprehensive and engaging biography that sheds new light on one of the most influential and enigmatic figures in the history of rock 'n' roll.
