JEFF BECK "loud hailer" cd, 2016:
was unsure where to put this one: rock, blues or alternative, but I chose this one...
background:
Beck wanted to record another album but he wanted an outside influence/co-writer...
he was at a party at Brian May's place and was introduced to Carmen Vandenberg and Rosie Bones
from UK alt-rock band Bones, they hit it off immediately and the rest is history...
all three of them co-wrote the album, Carmen and Jeff supplied guitar and Rosie provided vocals...
Rosie's vocals are very similar to Marianne Faithful's IMO...
a classy affair which brings Jeff Beck into the modern era of music as effortlessly as slipping on a pair of gloves
in winter...
almost perfection, and this one would be on my list of "desert island discs" for sure...
if you haven't heard it I suggest you go and take an hour out of your busy lives and listen to it, you wont be disappointed
at all!
I forgot to add:
Jeff Beck was asked in an interview at the time why he went so far out of his comfort zone with this album,
his reply was: "ive been on the cover of Guitar World Magazine probably 400 times in my career, I should be happy
to be on it every few months, but im not, I cant rest on my laurels of past glories, I have to keep moving forward for
my own sanity"
from the album, a cool live version of one of the tracks:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
