Jeff Beck never cared about having hits on the radio or producing the top 40 stuff....

He just wanted to make music the way he wanted. Now days, these guys still exist...but back in the day the record companies tried to tell you what kind of music to make.
they wanted something that would be played on the radio...life existed around singles.

In a way....I love a lot of the musicians now days....you can make the music you want to make and not be bothered with someone breathing down your neck for the next single.

There were a few artist that never caved in to this and Jeff Beck was definitely one of them.....I thank him for it as he has a very impressive library of music that he wanted to make.

This is one of my favorite Jeff Back LP's:

Yes, that is a great album....heck I own about 20 and they are all very good.

He is one of those gentlemen that when you hear the guitar, you know instantly that it is Jeff Beck.

If you don't own it....this is a must.



I think what makes him great also is his love for Hot Rods...if not making music....he is fine with his other hobby.

He has a second love, building his own Hot Rods.

Have watch this Live at Ronnie Scott's several times. Great performance. Tal Wilkenfield is a talented bass player from Australia.

Love this song especially with LCD-3f.

Happy Easter everyone.

Hello Joe...

He tried for a Radio Hit a couple of times, perhaps spurred on by music biz executives. Early 70's "Beck/Bogart/Appice" was formed to be a 'Super Group' but a radio 'hit' was not to be,

Then in 1985, he really went for 'hit land' with the album "Jeff Beck Flash" but it too, failed to produce a huge hit, but "People Get Ready" sung by Rod Stewart did reach #20...

Really happy with all the "non commercial oriented" music we got from him, over the years

You're too late! Easter is already over for me and I've eaten all the eggs.

Oh dear

I hope you had a great day!!!

Stavros, I had a great day, all the more so after listening to Conway Twitty and Sam Moore sing 'Rainy Night in Georgia'. This is the reason I am buying head-fi gear.

Yes, lots of wonderful music.
This is a great documentary of Jeff Beck, if you have not seen it.
It is very much worth the watch.
