Free Music Notes for Beck-Ola
Free Music Review: Jeff Beck Group: Explosive
Hit: 5 Stars
If the Jeff Beck Group's 1968 debut, "Truth" is the blueprint for Led Zeppelin's debut as well as much of what we might call hard rock or metal through the '70s (Van Halen, etc) and beyond, "Beck-Ola," the 1969 followup is savage, malevelont, and chaotic, albeit less accessable. Certainly the more calculating Jimmy Page never put out anything quite so raw, in every sense of the word. The edgy quality makes it no surprise that the amazing lineup - Beck, Ron Wood, Rod Stewart, Nicky Hopkins, and in place of Mick Waller, drummer Tony Newman - broke up three months after its completion.
Beck has switched to a '54 Stratocaster, and "Beck-Ola" suggests Led Zeppelin having a showdown with the Stooges circa "Funhouse." Wood and Stewart wrote most of the material, and it is here that Stewart's songwriting voice (his humor especially) is first evident (check "Spanish Boots"). But I've reviewed this brutal classic elsewhere, which brings me to the point: get the UK remaster, available since 2003, on EMI. Not only is the remastering more detailed and alive (as it is on the EMI edition of "Truth"), but it includes four previously unissued bonus tracks that will delight fans of this brilliant but short-lived all star band. (Why Sony's Legacy division did not get to reissue these two seminal albums is beyond me). So if you're thinking about "Beck-Ola" on CD, click over to the EMI import edition. When you hear the solo on "Sweet Little Angel," you'll thank me.
