5 Songs Jeff Beck Pt 2

Kul att så många diggade och röstade på den nyblivne 70-åringen Jeff Beck.
Det finns ju mer att vraka ur, så här kommer fem låtar till.

Här får ni lite extra info från http://ultimateclassicrock.com/

1. 'I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You'

     The Jeff Beck Group

 From: 'Jeff Beck Group' (1972)

Beck recorded his fourth album in Memphis with producer Steve Cropper, 

the great session guitarist who played on so many of the terrific R&B singles

that came out on Stax Records in the '60s. The LP,  'Jeff Beck Group,' is one

of Beck's most soulful, and this instrumental cover of a song penned by 

Ashford & Simpson is a sweet highlight.

2. 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'

    Jeff Beck

From: 'Wired' (1976)

Beck followed up 1975's 'Blow by Blow' with another record produced,

at least partially, by George Martin. But unlike its predecessor, 'Wired' is

more of a jazz-fusion outing than a bluesy-jam excursion. The highlight

is Charles Mingus' jazz standard, one of Beck's most subtle and impassioned 

recordings.

3. 'Cause We've Ended As Lovers'

Jeff Beck

 From: 'Blow by Blow' (1975)

Along with its cover of the Beatles' 'She's a Woman' (see No. 9 on our list 

of the Top 10 Jeff Beck Songs), Beck's 1975 album also included a pair 

of cuts penned by Stevie Wonder. The best is this moody, brooding ballad

 that builds over nearly six minutes to one of the guitarist's most lyrical and

 celebrated solos. 'Blow by Blow' reached No. 4, Beck's all-time best.

4. Heart Full of Soul'

The Yardbirds

From: 1965 single

The Yardbirds' second Top 10 hit (their first, 'For Your Love,' was released 

a few months before and featured Eric Clapton on guitar) marks one of Beck's

early career highlights. He not only mimics a sitar during the familiar riff that

rings throughout the song, he also busts out one of the first distortion-heavy 

solos ever recorded.

5. 'Beck's Bolero'

The Jeff Beck Group

From: 'Truth' (1968)

First of all, there's the band playing on Beck's first solo single, which was

recorded while he was still in the Yardbirds: Keith Moon on drums, John

Paul Jones on bass and Jimmy Page, who wrote the song, on 12-string guitar.

Then there's the song itself, a three-minute, three-part instrumental based on

Ravel's classical-music piece that's loaded with guitar effects: slides, dual 

solos, distortion and a hyper-drive ending that barely catches its breath 

before swinging back to its original inspiration. Guitar heroism begins right here.
