Jeff Beck is a guitar player from England who got his start in a band called The Yardbirds. This album was his first as a solo artist and was released in 1968. Truth was really good. It definitely had a late 60s early 70s flare to it with some pretty awesome blues thrown in for good measure. A couple of the songs are instrumental to showcase his guitar skills, while the others feature a singer recruited by Jeff for the album. He was also able to recruit some pretty heavy hitters from the rock world to play on the album; Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, Ronnie wood of The Rolling Stones and Keith Moon from The Who. I can understand why this was included on the list. For a debut album it was quite impressive and I found myself really enjoying listening to it. 5/5 for combining rock and blues into some truly good songs.
Bonus points if anyone can name the singer on the album, without googling it :)
Tomorrow's album: #747 Super Furry Animals - Fuzzy Logic
Sounds like a singer from my teenage favorite band, still are.
