{"product_id":"9780954706814","title":"First Time We Met the Blues","description":"David Williams grew up in Epsom, Surrey and was a childhood friend of future Led Zeppelin guitar legend, Jimmy Page. Together they discovered what was for them an intriguing and very different kind of music: the blues. As their interest grew into a passion, they befriended other teenage enthusiasts -- among them Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards -- becoming part of a movement that ultimately brought about the '60s rock revolution. Part-biography, part-history, \"The First Time We Met The Blues\" is packed full of great anecdotes and unique insights into the early British blues scene, Page's formative years as a musician, the beginnings of the Rolling Stones, and much more besides. It culminates with a detailed account of a momentous expedition by van from London to Manchester to see the American Folk-Blues Festival in October 1962 -- the first time ever that Williams and his friends had an opportunity to see legendary American bluesmen like T-Bone Walker, Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker in action -- and an assessment of its far-reaching aftermath.","brand":"Music Mentor Books (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66232981094749,"sku":null,"price":11.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9780954706814_5e960b53-2839-4b8e-a93f-6923245702fd.jpg?v=1793138784","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9780954706814","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
