Jeff Beck
π Truth
#Rock #HardRock #RockBlues
A tribute to guitarist extraordinaire Jeff Beck from Surrey, #UK, who 55 years ago released his debut studio album.
Truth contains songs (mainly Rock Blues covers plus 3 songs penned Beck/Stewart and Jimmy Page's instrumental "Beck's Bolero") recorded over 2 years after #JeffBeck left #Yardbirds.
The list of guest musicians is incredible: #JimmyPage, #JohnPaulJones, #ClemCattini, #MickyWaller, #KeithMoon (cited as "You Know Who").
In addition in this album (credited to Jeff Beck as a solo artist) appear all future members of the newly formed Jeff Beck Group: #RodStewart on vocals, #NickyHopkins on piano, #AynsleyDunbar on drums.
Truth is considered one of the most important Rock albums of all time, highly influential especially to the embryonic Hard Rock and Heavy Metal genres!
