Free Music Notes for TruthFree Music Review: THE TRUTH IS RIGHT HERE***** Hit: 5 Stars
After Jeff left the Yardbirds, before Faces with Rod, and before Ron went to The Rolling Stones for a full time career, these three were in Jeff Beck's Group, the album Truth, awesome set by these guys with the classic I Ain't Superstitious, tremendous little number You Shook Me, before the ol Led did it. Page's little tribute for Jeff to play Bolero, very good and clever. Shape of Things a little ditty done prior with the Yardbirds. Rod Stewart you just jam on this album, you were meant for blues, but like a bird you flew away into a different group, but here he's new, welcome to the 1968 Jeff Beck's Truth.
Free Music Review: This isn't really a review, more a response... Hit: 5 Stars
This is a response to Proud Led Head. Led Zeppelin's first album came out in January '69. Truth came out in August '68. That's te truth. If you believe otherwise, you're just insane. Zep's first album was recorded in October '68 and even so, Truth STILL predates it. Just accept that you're wrong and that the world does not revolve around Led Zeppelin. And the other crap about how Beck can't lick Page's boots, etc.? I'm not even going to deign to answer that.
All in all, this is a great album, I must say. If you don't already own it, buy it (and no, I don't work for Beck himself).
Free Music Review: Rod Stewart at his Best Hit: 5 Stars
Awesome album. One of the best of the late 60's, early 70's. It sounds like, but better than the Led Zepplin (1) album. If you happened to like the Rod Stewart songs of the 70's, then this is not for you. If you are a early Zep fan AND Mayall fan, then this is your album. Great energy, unique sound, great song selections, and a band that played together. "You Shook Me" is better than the Led Zepplin version. "I Ain't Superstitious" has the coolest Wah Wah stereo sound ever recorded. The band is good, the music is good, but it is Rod Stewart that makes this great.
Free Music Review: Beck struts his stuff Hit: 5 Stars
Jeff Beck was/is the forgotten hero, which is sad considering he may be the greatest of all. Jeff Beck took the Yardbirds to heights Clapton only dreamed about and then he flew the coop. Luckily for us he came back stronger. His debut solo/group album shows his real power as a guitar virtuoso. The reworking of his Yarbird-days hit "Shapes of Things" blows away the solid original in every way. It keeps going from there. Other standout tracks inlcude "Beck's Bolero" and "I Ain't Superstitious." If you like guitars then it doesn't get much better than this.
Free Music Review: The late 60s had some great music Hit: 5 Stars
Jeff Beck's first album entitled "Truth" is a classic rock masterpiece showcasing the voice of Rod Stewart, the virtuosity of Beck's guitar playing with Ron Wood on bass and Mick Waller on drums. 'The Shape of Things' (a Yardbirds staple) opens this disc and the rest, they say, is history. One of the highlights of this fantastic cd is 'Beck's Bolero' which, btw, includes work from Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page. The whole disc is terrific and belongs along the side of works from Page, Clapton, Hendrix, Santana, etc. Essential classic rock to say the least.
