Ferocious guitar

I had kinda' lost track of Jeff Beck in recent years...BIG MISTAKE! This album has a huge Techno-ish sound, and if it played in a trendy dance club, it would drive the crowd crazy. Beck's guitar finds its way into the heart of each track. Always different but always right on. 'JB's Blues' calms things down briefly and beautifully but everything rocks out throughout. Jeff Beck walks in shoes that no other guitarist can fill. I only regret that it took me so long to notice.
Beck's virtuosity displayed...

... in spades! This is my favorite guitar record period! It has the electronics, the blips and beeps, the rhythm that is modern, and soul and an uncanny energy. For as long as Jeff has been playing, he has surpassed his past, he plays for today. He will inspire for tomorrow, all those up-and-comer guitarists and those of us who recognize the Genius playing this ear candy. Amazing licks.
Got Guitar?

If you think so and haven't heard this, think again. As the liner notes of one of Jeff's early albums instructs: listen to this LOUD. It will take you away.
Beck is rock's mad doctor...

I've been listening to Jeff Beck for years... heck... decades and have always been amazed at his ability to lead the pack. Other guitar monsters come and go, but it's Beck who is creating them, heavily influencing their styles and showing them how it's done.
He's laughing at the twists and turns of techo music on this album, slipping through all the knots and creating some great music as he does it. I love every song on the album because he shows he's the master of the guitar. Where we'd struggle to find the right note or keep in time he's flowing with it and speaking through his guitar.
Simply amazing.
Too Hot to Touch!

Jeff is like a fine-tuned machine running at warp speed. Beck and band has forged an incredibly hot sound. So What, My Thing, Grease Monkey, Pork-U-Pine. All of these are both riveting and addicting. This also applies to Roy’s Toy, Dirty Mind, Loose Cannon and Left Hook from the album You Had It Coming. And the slow introspective instrumentals — JB’s Blues, Seasons, Suspension, Nadia — good God! — what finesse and beauty! It cannot be touched. Strictly for listening pleasure.

I think we all have those albums that sit in our library that we don't ever listen to. One day I dared to listen to this album and fell in love...

I actually checked this CD out at my public library. I thought I'd get some good 'ol rockin' blues. But boy was I suprised when I popped it in my player. Great stuff with a rockin' beat.
Enjoy!
Jeff
