Product Details
Featuring the music of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Son House, Bukka White, Davey Graham, John Renbourn and more
This DVD focuses on the musical roots of Led Zeppelin. Their influences are explored in considerable depth, particularly the extensive blues heritage that was behind much of their music but also covering areas such as skiffle and folk that are clearly identifiable on Led Zeppelin's albums and an exploration of their occult influences. There are new interviews with highly regarded blues historians, renowned producers Joe Boyd and Larry Cohn and musicians including John Renbourn, Chas McDevitt and Davey Graham supplemented by new and archive performance footage.
Few music lovers would argue that Led Zeppelin paved the road for some of the best hard rock and heavy metal bands ever, but are they really as original as some fervent fans claim? In this release, filmmakers explore how the Led Zeppelin sound may have never come to be if it weren't for the powerful influence of such respected blues musicians as Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Son House, Davey Graham, and Bukka White. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
