Beck ola

Description

At the end of the 60s, the rumblings of Zeppelin and the biceps of Cream placed rock in a heavyweight category that increasingly appealed to the public. With this second album, Jeff Beck spares no decibels and invents hard rock? The former firebrand of the Yardbirds, a mad jack-of-all-trades, showcases a powerful and inspired performance that finds in Rod Stewart's brilliant growls the dream partner. Like those guys, we have values; we pay tribute to the King (Jailhouse Rock and All Shook Up in twisted versions). In this madness, Beck dares to explore groovy funk blues and even lets Nicky Hopkins embark on a sublime solitary piano ballad (Girl From Mill Valley). An uncontrollable record adorned with Magritte's The Listening Room, Beck-Ola primarily shows how the English blues scene has beautifully matured.
