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.

Than you for your work in curating music that would otherwise pass away. Can't wait to hear .
ReplyDeleteI found this blog through a link on your youtube channel, you can guess which video haha. But I wanted to ask, what your life has been like all these years? I'm curious what you're up to now. (no need to share anything private of couse) but it's really cool that you're still active on the internet, and doing something productive. This is some pretty neat stuff here.
ReplyDeleteJeff Beck was never one of those musicians I was really interested in, but I was always aware of him in the background doing cool stuff. The deaths of these people from our generation will continue, and I guess the best we can do is accept that and move on. At least we have their recorded legacies.
