Album Review

The chief appeal of this European import, a skimpy nine-song survey of Beck's late-'60s work, is the inclusion of three tracks from rare solo singles that weren't featured on the first two Jeff Beck Group albums: "Hi Ho Silver Lining," "Tallyman," and "Love Is Blue." Beck takes lead vocals on the first two of these, and though "Hi Ho Silver Lining" actually made the British Top 20, Beck and/or those around him quickly realized that a strong lead vocal presence (i.e., someone other than Beck) was in order. These are typical British pop/rock tunes of the era, but the real curiosity is "Love Is Blue," a cheesy rendition of the Paul Mauriat megasmash that sets Beck's stinging guitar against a near-Muzak arrangement.

Customer Reviews

Amazing.

Being a guitarist I know how much talent it takes to play like this guy, cuz I'm no where near as good as he is. He is arguably the best guitarst EVER.

Is Shifty kidding?

That last comment was so ignorant. "he sounds a lot like rod stewart" Are you kidding me!! Its is Rod Steward dimwit!! By the way, Jimmy Page is great.. I love his music. But even he would tell you that Jeff Beck can play circles around him. Learn some freakin music histroy before you make stupid comments. The Yardbirds would be a good start.

Beasty

Probably the sickest guitar licks ever. Rivals Hendrix; Jimmy Page and Trey Anastasio. A must for your collection.

Biography

Born: June 24, 1944 in Wallington, Surrey, England

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

While he was as innovative as Jimmy Page, as tasteful as Eric Clapton, and nearly as visionary as Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck never achieved the same commercial success as any of those contemporaries, primarily because of the haphazard way he approached his career. After Rod Stewart left the Jeff Beck Group in 1971, Beck never worked with a charismatic lead singer who could have helped sell his music to a wide audience. Furthermore, he was simply too idiosyncratic, moving from heavy metal to jazz fusion...
