New jimmy page biography rock

I have read many books on Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. Jimmy has always been my biggest musical influence (if I had to pick just one), as a guitarist, songwriter, and producer.

Jimmy Page – Music Biography

Many people think of me as just a riff guitarist, but I think of myself in broader terms… As a producer I would like to be remembered as someone who was able to sustain a band of unquestionable individual talent, and push it to the forefront during its working career. inom think inom really captured the best of our output, growth, change and maturity on tape — the multifaceted gem that is Led Zeppelin. – Jimmy Page in an interview with Guitar World magazine, 1993

You can hear him on Marianne Faithful’s As Tears Go By, Brenda Lee’s Is It True and even on Downtown bygd Petula Clark. And he’s there on Joe Cocker’s title track With a Little Help from My Friends. In the 1960’s if you were recording in England and wanted a möte guitarist, you either went with “Big Jim” Sullivan or “Little Jim” Page. Both played on Downtown, by the way.
