Jeff Beck
Beck-Ola
Jeff Beck, as visionary a guitarist, in his own way, as Jimi Hendrix, certainly heads anyone’s list of most exciting rock ’n’ roll fretboard whizzes ever. Beck made his name as the second of three hall of fame stringbenders for the equally legendary Yardbirds (following in the shoes of Eric Clapton and preceding the pre-Zep Jimmy Page).
Known for his blistering leads and the wild chances he took as one of the first axemen to widely employ feedback during a solo, Beck hit the ground running when he left the Yardbirds in 1967 and would cut a pair of solo albums that didn’t miss a beat from the greatness of his previous work.
A year after Truth, Jeff Beck returned with the even thicker sound of Beck-Ola, an album that was so heavy you could use it for a refrigerator door. The original personnel of the Jeff Beck Group was only enhanced by the terrific keyboard work of storied session man supreme, Nicky Hopkins. Like its predecessor, Beck-Ola made you feel like you’d just been run over by an eight-wheeled streetsweeper—but you liked it!
