A new biography on legendary guitarist Jeff Beck is set to be released this summer.
Da Capo Publishing said Blow by Blow: The Jeff Beck Story, written by Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill, is the "first biography to fully capture the life, music, and mystery of this singular artist."
The biography was compiled from over 30 hours of Beck interviews as well as contributions from the guitarist's friends and collaborators, including Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, actor Johnny Depp and music exec Clive Davis.
"This is the book Jeff deserves," says Depp. "It's honest, thoughtful, and true."
Blow by Blow will be released July 14, and it will be celebrated with what's described as an "all-star tribute concert" July 16 at The Cutting Room in New York City. It will also feature an interview and book signing with the authors.
The authors will also take part in a book signing and Q&A at Book Soup in Los Angeles on July 23.
