| | Jeff Beck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Beck was one of the first electric guitarists in the 1960s to experiment with electronic distortion (most notably in The Yardbirds' 1966 album, Roger the Engineer), redefining the sound and role of the electric guitar in rock music and anticipating what Jimi Hendrix shortly thereafter took further. | | | Beck also is featured on one track on Queen guitarist Brian May's last solo album, Another World. | | | Beck's work with The Yardbirds and The Jeff Beck Group's 1968 album Truth were seminal influences on heavy metal music, which emerged in full force in the early 1970s. |

| | RATW: Jeff Beck Article |
| | Jeff indulged his desire to pay homage to a couple of his idols, Roy Buchanan and Stevie Wonder, and in general seemed to finally be doing what he really wanted. | | | Whenever he formed a band, the first recorded album from that band would define that particular band's `sound.' The only way that Jeff found to solve this problem was to do only one album with a given group of musicians, then change everyone around. | | | Jeff remained stubborn (that's our Jeff), but ultimately compromised on the second album, playing more rock and less soul. |

| | Beck spent most of the remainder of the decade touring as co-headliner with the Jan Hammer Group and the majority of the 80s working on disparate projects such as live appearances for charity, touring with Rod Stewart, playing on Mick Jagger's solo recordings and touring as a duet with Stevie Ray Vaughan. | | | Late in 1969, the album Beckola was released, and having completed the album, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood left the band to join The Faces. | | | The same line-up recorded 1972's Jeff Beck Group album (often referred to as the Orange Album) and re-issued Hi Ho Silver Lining, reaching No. 17 in the UK. |

| | Jeff had been rumoured to have played on one cut of this album since 1975 but it hadn't been confirmed until 2000 when a CD of the album was been released. | | | Beck plays on the B-side which is a non-Lp song and was recorded in 1984 for Jagger's "She's The Boss" Lp sessions. | | | Jeff's cut 'Three O'Clock Blues' didn't make it on B.B.'s commercial release of this album, but he is on the CDR promo version. |

| | Instead of recording Beck's own tunes (he wrote or co-wrote everything on the previous album), he accounts for only about half of the tracks. | | | Beck's guitar skills can lift almost any track (his own rather ordinary "Ice Cream Cakes" for one), but songs like the annoyingly dumb pop "Glad All Over" are still bad. | | | With his reliance more on electric piano there is a real similarity to Beck's friend Stevie Wonder on some tracks, and Wonder even wrote two of the tracks ("Cause We've Ended as Lovers" and "Thelonius"), but Beck's sound is his own. |

| | One other new twist is Beck's explosive techno treatment of the Muddy Waters' blues classic "Rollin' and Tumblin'." The song features a stormy vocal from British singer Imogen Heap and represents one of the few times since the breakup of the second Jeff Beck group that the guitarist has featured a vocal on a song. | | | JEFF BECK calls his new CD, You Had It Coming (Epic), his first real solo record. | | | (Beck also released Crazy Legs, an album of Gene Vincent material, and Frankie's House, a soundtrack album to the film of the same name, during the '90s). |

| | Through the '80s, Beck toured and recorded with major stars as well as recording three albums and winning a Grammy for 1986's "Escape" from the Flash album. | | | The new band featured future Rolling Stone Ron Wood on bass and Rod Stewart on vocals, and their 1968 debut Truth was a precursor to the heavy guitar rock that would follow in the coming years. | | | Produced by the Beatles' producer George Martin, the two albums were jazz fusion with a rock attitude, performed in a hitherto unheard of style, with synthesizer wizard Jan Hammer collaborating. |

| | BBC - Classic Rock/Pop Review - Jeff Beck, Jeff |
| | After saying all of this I have to point out that Beck is my favorite guitarist and I've been listening to his music for alomost 30 years. | | | This album doesnt have the feel, that was in the previous album of jeff. | | | Sure, it has gems ('Seasons', Bulgaria, etc.), but there is a sense that Jeff's self doubt and lack of focus have once again led him to doing an album on which his musical ambitions as a player and fan have resulted in a hodge-podge of tracks that will leave some listeners wondering what's up. |

| | Beck's idea was to cover a whole bunch of tunes by the Gene Vincent band, which featured a lead guitarist named Cliff Gallup who Beck seems to worship. | | | In 1986 Beck guested on Philip Bailey's "Back It Up," and in 1987 he played lead guitar on Mick Jagger's solo record Primitive Cool. | | | However, Beck's utter lack of interest in singing and songwriting hadn't started to mess him up at this point; classy production and instrumental virtuosity carry the record all the way through. |

| | Even so, Beck was just a guitarist, and the image and stylistics of his records were often determined by his colleagues and working bands. | | | True to his style, Beck also inserts a few 'lighter' numbers, like the pretty balladesque 'Nadia', the short atmospheric drumless interlude 'Blackbird' (which has nothing to do with the Beatles song), and ends the record with the minimalistic, thought-provoking 'Suspension' which is a good tune to relax to after the thunderstorm. | | | Yeah, Jeff is all over the place this time - unlike his past efforts, here he handles most of the soloing work himself, and I'll be the first to admit that some of his soloing is downright brilliant, lead guitar work of such a quality that most Eighties bands could only hope for. |

| | "Trouble Man" is absolutely raging with Beck wrangling sounds out of his guitar that sound like a computer malfunctioning instead of a Stratocaster through a Marshall amplifier (which he used for a large part of the album). | | | Almost vocal-like in their execution, the songs are in no way encumbered by the conventional limits of the six string electric guitar. | | | If this is a record he HATES, it is frightening to think of the album that he would LIKE, for Jeff has moments of virtuosity that will bring even the mightiest of gun-slingers to their knees with cries of "I'm not worthy" within it's first few songs. |

| | ), Beck's frenetic guitar with it's groove-heavy pacing and vitality is allowed to both complement and dominate the songs. | | | Hopefully this elusive yet influential mainstay of modern guitar won't hide out as he has been prone to in the past, and continue to challenge both himself, and his listeners, by simply playing Jeff Beck guitar. | | | His method of playing guitar lines in a uniquely non-linear fashion -- he goes from A to B, but stops off at Q on the way -- is exactly what this sort of lockstep music requires if it's to have any humanity at all. |
