About this deal

I have loved Jeff Beck's guitar work since my teens (mid 60's) when he was with the 'Yardbirds', absolutely fantastic. Rough and Ready' sports some of Beck's best tunes; "Got The Feeling", "I've Been Used" and "New Ways/Train Train" but it remains the unabashed rock record of its time; falling prey to those excesses and has eventfully been obscured by time.

We’re talking about Rod Stewart, who would, with Wood, make the Jeff Beck Group’s second and final album Beck-Ola before splintering off on his own. The albums Roger Waters made after flouncing out of Pink Floyd had plenty of the grandeur and ambition that helped forge Dark Side… and The Wall, but they lacked a certain something: namely, David Gilmour. It was the album Blow By Blow that shocked everybody who had pegged Jeff Beck as just another blues lead player, albeit a great one.s 'Truth' not only premiered the birth of British heavy metal, it established Jeff Beck as the musician's model for the perfect guitarist; a visionary that pushed the established boundaries of sound and ability to new and exciting heights. Volume 3, meanwhile, collates Jeff Beck’s solo years, and is rightly weighted towards his groundbreaking, George Martin-produced, Blow By Blow and Wired albums rooted in jazz fusion. Jeff Beck had done a live album with Jan Hammer in the fusion era, but live albums apparently suit him as he did the aforementioned . It was a reunion with former “Jeff Beck Group” member Rod Stewart on vocals and reached the number 5 position on “Billboard’s Mainstream Rock. Written by Stevie Wonder, this slow-burning, brooding number from 1975’s Blow By Blow shows the sheer depth of emotion Beck could wring from his instrument.

He not only mimicked a sitar during the familiar riff that rings throughout the song, he also busted out one of the first distortion-heavy solos ever recorded. On 1975’s Blow By Blow and 1976’s Wired he cemented his reputation as a jazz fusionist; 1993’s Crazy Legs paid homage to Gene Vincent; 1999’s Who Else!

But no doubt about it: The song belonged to Beck, whose piercing guitar stabbed at every single line. The guitarist finds the right vehicle to express himself and with his famous Tele-Gib (a hybrid guitar with the body of a 1959 Fender Telecaster and various pieces from other guitars, including the pickups from a 1959 Gibson Flying V) he once again proves that he is still an exceptional and adventurous guitarist, after a career spanning more than ten years.
