Jeff Beck

[MarkydeSad]

I don't own any Jeff Beck albums

Which Jeff Beck albums should I own?

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Truth
Blow By Blow
Crazy Legs
You Had It Coming
Live @ Ronnie Scott's

There are plenty of other albums with great songs. But if I were starting out, I'd go for these and then fill things in later.

Thanks

Live @ Ronnie Scott's rules.

Help!I'maRock!'s list is a good one.
Blow by Blow is my personal favorite.

Blow by Blow.....if just for "Cause We've Ended as Lovers".

Good list and I can't disagree. But I would like to add Beck-Ola.

That's an mp3 download of the Beckology box set, which was released in '98 and gives you a comprehensive survey of his work from the Yardbirds all the way through his better solo work...for 24.95 it's a bargain...

Beckology
Jeff Beck Group
Rough and Ready
Wired
Every Yardbirds album with him

Would it be fair to say that there may be only ONE JB record to avoid, that being Flash?

I almost got that one at the flea market yesterday, but I ran out of money. Haven't heard it yet.

oh....i don't know.....his and Rod's version of People Get Ready was pretty good.

AGREED! I bought the CD for that alone. But was underwhelmed by the rest.

there are NO bad Jeff Beck albums. He really reinvents himself so Blow By Blow is miles and miles apart from You Had it Coming,but both are BAD ASS

 

[MarkydeSad]

Thanks for the mine of info, guys

I'm on it

Am I the only one here who really likes Who Else?

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I really like that album. It's what really got me into Beck in the first place. But You Had It Coming has that killer version of "Rollin' & Tumblin'" and I think it's the maturation of that sound. Even Jeff, which completes the trilogy, is killer. But I felt like picking one, and You Had It Coming was it.

that is an AWESOME album! Brush With teh Blues and What mama Said are fantastic!

Nah, that is a great album. I saw that tour live and it was an absolutely amazing show.

No mention of Guitar Shop to this point? This was the album that got him back on the spotlight, trying to rebuild his focus on music and make up for Flash which was generally thought poorly of. Some great stuff and the best documentation to that point of his highly evolved/refined vibrato bar technique, which went onto inspire Scott Henderson and Vai to do some new stuff as well.

So, let me suggest Guitar Shop as a great album of Jeff's music. It's got a nice mix of styles and just stellar playing all around.
