OBSERVER BEST BOOKS OF 2018

‘An enthralling and rigorously researched book’ Sunday Times

‘Blake has talked to everyone, and the stories are both lurid and melancholy’ Mail on Sunday

‘A juicy saga of excess all areas, Mark Blake's biography of Led Zeppelin's notoriously combative manager, Peter Grant, reads at times like an all-you-can-eat buffet of guilty pleasures . . . a riotous roller coaster’ The Times

‘A tale as expansive and complex as the man himself’ Mojo

‘To say Bring It On Home is a rambunctious page-turner is an understatement; but despite all the violence and weirdness, you can't help liking the "real" Peter Grant who emerges here’ Planet Rock

The life of Peter Grant was as extraordinary and dramatic as the music he managed. For the first time, the Grant family has allowed an author access to unpublished correspondence and photographs, contributing to the creation of the most comprehensive and revealing story of a man who was a pioneer in rock music management, but also a son, husband, and father.

Bring It On Home traces the rise of Peter Grant from wartime poverty to the period when he managed Led Zeppelin, exploring the incredible highs and low moments of life on the road with rock's most extreme band.

The book includes nearly 100 new interviews with family members, friends, musicians, and competitors, as well as contributions from significant personalities. It is the first biography to reveal the truth behind the decline of Led Zeppelin and Grant's final days, as he shunned the excesses of the music industry.

Through unpublished interviews, Bring It On Home sheds new light on the story of rock's greatest manager and one of the giants of modern music history.
