Track 10 from his debut solo album “Truth” released in 1968 copyright Epic Records. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Olympic Studios and De Lane Lea Studios in London. I first uploaded this album five years ago, shortly after I started my channel and in the time since then I've realized that I can now offer a better quality aural experience from the same great piece of original vinyl in my collection, so here it is. Beck had been fired from “The Yardbirds” in 1966. In his acceptance speech when being inducted with the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, he brought up the fact that he'd been unceremoniously dismissed and told his fellow inductees from the band to fuck off. Jeff was never an especially talkative guy, so it brought the house down. He was also inducted as a solo artist in 2009. His focus was always on his craft and he was a genius guitarist for his ability to expand the instrument with his innovative playing and completely unique style, largely inspired by jazz, or his version of it. This album shows how far ahead of his time he was, blazing a new trail of guitar mastery. No one will ever sound like Jeff Beck, he was the one and only and his legacy is the impact he had on anyone who's ever picked up a guitar. This album introduced Rod Stewart on lead vocals and Ron Wood on bass. Several original songs were credited to Jeffrey Rod, which was a pseudonym for Jeff Beck & Rod Stewart. John Paul Jones, Nicky Hopkins, Keith Moon & Jimmy Page were guests on the album. The album was one of the first to be considered hard rock. It achieved Gold status in 2000. Recorded from the original vinyl. Written by Willie Dixon and produced by Mickie Most. RIP Keith Moon, Nicky Hopkins, Mickie Most, Micky Waller & Jeff Beck.
