R.I.P. to a guitar GOD... without a doubt, one of the top five guitarists in rock history. A sad, sudden, stunning loss... and coincidentally, seven years to the day of David Bowie's death. A sad date for rock, and for music in general.
What more need be said?
In honor and appreciation of the life and work of the legendary Jeff Beck, and sorrow with his passing I humbly offer up the following works from my collection in tribute:
- Working Version, a bootleg containing tracks from the unreleased second album of Beck, Bogert & Appice, Beck's '70s power-rock collaboration with drummer Carmine Appice and bsssist Tim Bogert; and
- Beckology, a then-career-spanning three-disc collection of his most popular and celebrated work, both solo, with artists such as Rod Stewart, and with groups such as The Tridents, The Yardbirds and The Jeff Beck Group, released on Epic Records on November 18th, 1991.
Listen, enjoy and remember.
