Artist bios

Unquestionably one of the all-time most influential, important, and versatile guitarists and songwriters in rock history is Jimmy Page. Just about every rock guitarist from the late '60s/early '70s to the present day has been influenced by Page's work with Led Zeppelin -- his monolithic riffs served as a blueprint for what would eventually become heavy metal, yet he refused to be pigeonholed to any single musical style (touching upon folk, country, funk, blues, and other genres). Page also lent a hand in writing (or co-writing) Zeppelin's vast array of classic songs and produced all their albums. Born on January 9, 1944, in Heston, Middlesex, England, Page picked up the guitar at age 13 after being inspired by the Elvis Presley tune "Baby Let's Play House," and while he took several lessons, was mostly self-taught. Instead of attending college right after high school, Page decided to join his first real rock band, Neil Christian & the Crusaders, whom he toured England with. But Page fell seriously ill (with glandular fever) and was forced to quit and recuperate. Dejected, Page pondered giving up music and focusing on another interest, painting, as he enrolled at an art college in Sutton, Surrey.

With the emergence of such bands as the Rolling Stones in the early '60s and their gritty blues-rock, Page's interest in music perked up once again -- but instead of forming a band right away, he decided to hone his craft by becoming one of England's top session guitarists and producers. Although the exact specifics of which sessions he was involved with have become hazy over time, it's confirmed that he worked with many of the day's top acts, including the Who, Them, Donovan, the Kinks, and the Rolling Stones, among others. By 1966, Page was looking to put his session work on hold and join a full-time band; he accepted an offer to play with the Yardbirds (initially as a bassist, then shortly thereafter as a guitarist), as he was paired up with another one of rock's all-time guitar greats, Jeff Beck. Although the Yardbirds began as a straight-ahead blues-rock band, with the inclusion of Page in the lineup, the group began experimenting with psychedelic and hard rock styles.

Despite it being obvious that the Yardbirds were on the downside of their career (Beck left shortly after Page came onboard), Page appeared on the album Little Games and several tours before the band finally called it a day in 1968. With a string of tour dates still set up throughout Europe, Page decided to go through with the shows and put together a new band that was dubbed the New Yardbirds -- including longtime session bassist John Paul Jones, plus newcomers Robert Plant on vocals and John Bonham on drums. After the completion of their initial tour, the band changed its name to Led Zeppelin and explored the still largely uncharted territory of hard rock/heavy metal. The band immediately became one of rock's most successful and enduring bands, issuing a string of classic albums from 1969 through 1975 -- Led Zeppelin I, Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti -- which spawned such classic rock radio standards as "Dazed and Confused," "Whole Lotta Love," "Immigrant Song," "Black Dog," "Stairway to Heaven," and "Kashmir," as the band also became a must-see live act in the process. Page also found the time to work with folk artist Roy Harper (most notably his 1971 release, Stormcock, under the alias S. Flavius Mercurius). Zeppelin was arguably the biggest rock band in the world by the mid-'70s (their influence on other rock bands following in their wake cannot be stressed enough) as they launched their own record company, Swan Song, but it was around this time that Page began dabbling with heroin and other substances, eventually leading to him becoming a full-blown addict by the late '70s/early '80s (as a result, his playing began to suffer). Also, Page's interest in the occult became a concern to those around him (he went as far as purchasing a mansion on the Loch Ness in Scotland that was once owned by renowned Satanist Aleister Crowley).

Zeppelin continued issuing albums until the dawn of the '80s (1976's concert movie/soundtrack The Song Remains the Same and Presence, 1979's In Through the Out Door), but tragedy ultimately derailed the quartet -- the death of Plant's young son in 1977 and Bonham's alcohol-related death in 1980. After Led Zeppelin decided to call it quits in late 1980, Page disappeared from sight (it became known later on that he hardly touched his instrument for a long time afterward). It wasn't until 1982 that Page began to emerge from his self-imposed exile, as he composed and played on the motion picture soundtrack to Death Wish III, compiled the Zeppelin outtakes collection Coda, and took part in the 1983 star-studded A.R.M.S. tour, which saw Page unite with Beck and Eric Clapton for a series of shows that raised money for multiple sclerosis research. In 1984, Page guested alongside Plant, Beck, and Nile Rodgers on the hit EP of rock & roll oldies The Honeydrippers, and formed his first band since the demise of Zeppelin, dubbed the Firm. The group featured former Free/Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers, and despite the fact that their self-titled debut was a sizable hit, the band decided to call it a day shortly after the release of its lukewarm-received sophomore effort, Mean Business.

Led Zeppelin fans were given a rare treat when Zeppelin's surviving three members reunited (with drummers Tony Thompson and Phil Collins) for the mammoth Live Aid at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium in July 1985 -- unfortunately handing in an incredibly under-rehearsed, sloppy performance. Zeppelin reunited again in 1988 for the Atlantic Records 25th anniversary concert at New York's Madison Square Garden (this time Bonham's son, Jason, filled in for his late father behind the kit), and yet again performed another mistake-filled mini set. The same year Page guested on Plant's solo release Now & Zen, as well as issuing his first ever solo recording, Outrider, following it up with a tour that touched upon tracks from all eras of his career. By the early '90s, further rumors of an impending Zeppelin reunion continued to circulate, and after Plant declined an invitation from Page to join forces once again, Page decided to collaborate with former Deep Purple/Whitesnake vocalist David Coverdale, whose vocal style was often compared to Plant's over the years. Page's latest project only lasted a single album, 1993's heavily Zep-like Coverdale/Page, as a proposed world tour was scrapped in favor of just a few select dates in Japan.

In 1994, Plant and Page finally agreed to collaborate once again (although Jones wasn't invited this time), leading to the release of the acoustic set No Quarter the same year, plus a highly popular MTV Unplugged special and sold-out world tour. A year later, Led Zeppelin were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, this being the second time a Page-related band got the nod from the Hall (in 1992, the Yardbirds were honored). The year 1998 saw Plant and Page issue an album of all-new material, Walking into Clarksdale, which was surprisingly not well received by the public, sinking from sight shortly after its release. The duo went their separate ways by the late '90s, as Page joined the Black Crowes for a tour and live album (2000's Live at the Greek). The same year as the album's release, another Crowes/Page tour was cut short due to a back injury Page suffered. But in June of 2001, Page took to the concert stage alongside Plant to celebrate the 60th birthday of Roy Harper.

In 2005 Page was appointed Office of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his charity work, and the following year he was inducted, along with the rest of Led Zeppelin, into the U.K. Music Hall of Fame. A one-off charity concert with all of the surviving Led Zeppelin members, with Jason Bonham on drums, occurred in 2007 at the O2 Arena in London, and in 2008 Page appeared in and co-produced the guitar documentary It Might Get Loud, which focused on the careers and playing styles of Page, Jack White, and U2's the Edge. In 2012 Page, Plant, and Jones received the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors from President Barack Obama in a White House ceremony amidst rumors circulating about a possible Led Zeppelin reunion in anticipation of the forthcoming deluxe reissues of the band's first three studio albums. By 2014 those rumors had mostly abated, and Page announced that he was going to put together a band and tour as a solo act for the first time since 1988. ~ Greg Prato

The Black Crowes echo classic rock without imitating their influences -- they don't replicate the insistent swagger of the Rolling Stones, the drunken boogie of the Faces, or the funky chug of the Grateful Dead so much as give the resulting brew their own flavors. The interplay between the brothers Robinson, vocalist Chris and guitarist Rich, gives the band some extra tension and they play with a fiery tightness their heroes often didn't. They hit the ground running with their first two albums -- 1990's Shake Your Money Maker, with its revved-up cover of the Otis Redding song "Hard to Handle," and 1992's The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion -- scaling the upper reaches of the charts. As the years rolled on, the group loosened up a bit and embraced the jammier side of the classic rock equation, before splitting (for the first time) in 2002. They would continue to regroup and breakup over the years, playing reunion shows and making albums, including 2008's politically charged Warpaint. After half-a-decade of not speaking, they patched things up in 2020, releasing the covers EP 1972, touring, and curating reissues of their early albums. In 2024, they returned with their first studio album in 15 years, the swagging hard rock throwback Happiness Bastards.

The Robinson brothers originally formed the band, calling it Mr. Crowe's Garden, in Georgia in 1984. They started off heavily influenced by psychedelic rock and jangle pop, but gradually evolved into something more indebted to greasy, good-time rock & roll. By the time they released their debut album, 1990's Shake Your Money Maker, the lineup comprised vocalist Chris Robinson, guitarist Rich Robinson, bassist Johnny Colt, guitarist Jeff Cease, and drummer Steve Gorman. The strutting "Jealous Again," the first single from Shake Your Money Maker, established the band's mix of hooks and attitude, but it was their cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" that made the Black Crowes a multi-platinum success. The song climbed its way into the Top 40, propelling the album into the Top Ten along the way. The acoustic ballad "She Talks to Angels" became their second Top 40 hit in the spring of 1991. Along the way, the group's notoriety and fame grew in equal measure as they were booted off a tour with ZZ Top (for bad mouthing the corporate sponsor) and earned an opening slot on the Monsters of Rock tour.

Guitarist Cease left the band before the recording of their second album began, he was replaced by Marc Ford. Working again with producer George Drakoulias, who had done much in the past to help the band hone their sound, their second album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, was released in early 1992 and entered the charts at number one. Featuring vintage keyboard work from another new member, Eddie Harsch, the album deepened the grooves found on their debut and featured a heavier guitar attack along with even more confident vocals from Chris Robinson. The album's songs didn't have the same impact on the singles chart this time around, but the band established itself as a popular concert attraction, selling out theaters across America. Once back in the studio they commenced work on their third album, Tall, but ended up shelving it in favor of the more relaxed, jam band-adjacent Amorica, which arrived in late 1994 and debuted in the Top Ten. It was the first of their albums produced by Jack Joseph Puig, and he was back at the helm for 1996's Three Snakes and One Charm, which was recorded in Atlanta in a house the band rented and lived in during the sessions. The record had a looser feel and horns courtesy of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. During this time, animosity between the Robinson brothers started to influence their way of operating, as they were living on separate coasts and sent their song ideas to each other instead of working together in person. The end result proved strong, though, and was hailed by many as a return to their early form.

The Crowes' lineup took a hit in late 1997 when Ford was fired and Colt left to form the Brand New Immortals. With Rich Robinson handling all guitar parts, the band recorded and released By Your Side, a tough, hard-rocking album that stripped their sound down to the basics. Next up was a collaboration with one of their heroes, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. This partnership was captured on the concert album Live at the Greek, a mix of Zeppelin covers and classic blues cuts. The band took a breath in 2000 and issued Greatest Hits 1990-1999: A Tribute to a Work in Progress, a 16-track best-of that took stock of their career to date. When they got back to business, they enlisted Don Was to produce 2001's Lions, a record that reflected their kaleidoscopic vision of rock's history and sported lyrics that were influenced by Chris Robinson's relationship with actress Kate Hudson. A month-long summer tour with Oasis -- dubbed the "Tour of Brotherly Love" due to the prevalence of less-than-friendly siblings in both bands -- followed in June. All was apparently not well with the group, and the band announced its decision to go on hiatus in January 2002. Drummer Steve Gorman was fired, and Chris Robinson began planning a solo career. It was Rich Robinson who was first out of the gate with a solo project, though, releasing Paper in 2004. In 2005, however, the Black Crowes, including Ford on guitar, reunited for a show at San Francisco's Fillmore that was released as Freak 'N' Roll...Into the Fog in 2006. That year also saw the release of The Lost Crowes, which contained two previously unreleased albums, 1993's Tall (parts of which were heard on Amorica) and the 1997 never-before-heard Band. Following a series of lineup changes that included Harsch and Ford's departure, the retooled band hit the road for a proper tour before setting to work on its first studio effort in seven years. Joined by newcomer Luther Dickinson, guitarist and co-founder of the North Mississippi Allstars, the Black Crowes combined the rootsy appeal of their early work with a newfound political awareness on 2008's Warpaint. A live performance of the album, Warpaint Live, appeared a year later in 2009. Before the Frost...Until the Freeze, which was recorded live at Levon Helm's studio and saw the band delving into disco and cosmic folk, arrived that same year, marking the band's eighth studio effort and garnering warm reviews.

The Black Crowes continued their prolific streak with 2010's Croweology, a double-disc album that featured new acoustic recordings of the band's past work. The album's release was bittersweet, though, as it coincided with a farewell tour followed by another indefinite hiatus. Rich Robinson released his second solo album, Through a Crooked Sun, in 2011 and Chris released two albums with his new band, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, in 2012. The Crowes returned to life in 2013, undertaking a tour and releasing the live album Wiser for the Time on vinyl. In January 2015, Rich Robinson announced the band was breaking up. Again.

The Robinson brothers spent five years apart -- during which they never spoke or saw each other -- and each released a solo album and toured before gingerly reuniting once more in 2020 with a new Black Crowes lineup (guitarist Isaiah Mitchell, bassist Tim Lefebvre, keyboardist Joel Robinow, and drummer Raj Ojha) for a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album Shake Your Money Maker. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour was postponed until 2021, as was a deluxe reissue of Shake Your Money Maker. Things went well enough that the band decided to record again, and the following year saw the release of the EP 1972, a set of six newly recorded covers from the epochal year done in classic Crowes style. The band continued to play live shows and cycle through members, with bassist Sven Pipien returning to the fold. In 2023, the group released a live album, Shake Your Money Maker Live, and a deluxe edition of The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion that included previously unreleased live-in-the-studio tracks. During this time, they were working on an album with producer Jay Joyce, digging back into the inspirations that had launched the band and aiming for a suitably tough, swaggering sound. The resulting Happiness Bastards album was released in early 2024, and along with a batch of wall-rattling rockers it featured "Wilted Rose," a country-spiked ballad featuring backing vocals by Lainey Wilson. After the album's release, the band launched a year-long world tour. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Tim Sendra
