The albums Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy were re-issued in expanded editions at the end of 2014. Whole Lotta Love was voted as the Greatest Guitar Riff of All Time by Radio 2 listeners. Robert Plant's 10th solo album Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar has received critical acclaim and listed in the Top Albums of 2014.

This book shoots down the folklore and assumptions about Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham, and presents the band's full history, from when Jimmy Page was playing skiffle to the day the band was honoured by the Kennedy Center for their contribution to American and global culture.

Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin captures the ideas of all of the band's members at the time they created classics like "Whole Lot of Love," "Stairway to Heaven," and "Kashmir," but also captures the idea of the band itself as it created the music that changed popular culture.

Industry Reviews

"I still remember listening to Led Zeppelin's debut album for the first time, the same year we recorded "Spirit In The Sky." We knew it was a game changer. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection of interviews with Led Zeppelin band members. Highly recommended."-- Russell DaShiell, writer, producer, lead guitarist
"When Hank first approached me about my Led Zeppelin coverage from 1973 -- back when their gig at Tampa Stadium was crowned the biggest show by a single band in rock history -- I knew this wasn't gonna be just another Zep potboiler. Hank is a tenacious researcher, an obsessive rock fan, and serves a mean lunch. It's all good." --Arthur Levy, rock historian and archivist
"A great read for casual readers and longtime fans." --"Library Journal" on "Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right"
"A very thorough book." --"Mojo" on "Bad Moon Rising"
"An intriguing collection . . . absolutely fascinating. . . . Every entry tells the reader something of interest." --"Goldmine" on "Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right"
"Bordowitz brings CCR's complex story to life. . . . [He] never takes sides or passes judgment yet brilliantly illuminates the tragedy of CCR's lost potential." --"Library Journal" on "Bad Moon Rising"
"Bordowitz provides evenhanded treatment of highly charged issues . . . persuasively demonstrating that CCR has earned their reputation as one of the most important bands in rock history." --"Publishers Weekly" on "Bad Moon Rising"
"If "Bad Moon Rising" isn't 'the saddest story in rock 'n' roll, ' . . . it certainly comes within kissing distance." --USA Today on "Bad Moon Rising"
"Offers a rich variety of angles on the Marley legend." --"Relix" on "Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right"
"Often illuminating . . . never dull or boring." --"Nashville"" City"" Paper" on "Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right"
