The woman in our local corner shop often has her Rod Stewart T-shirts on.
"Have you got the Jeff Beck albums yet?" I ask.
She smiles benignly as if to say; "Idiot! What would my Roddy be doing on a Jeff Beck album, I do wish he'd stop asking me that!"
Jeff Beck's first album after leaving The Yardbirds, and after enjoying (?) 2 or 3 chart singles on which HE took the lead vocals this album was an absolute blessing to hear; this was what we expected from a band fronted by him! And yes, regardless of my disbelieveing corner shop lady, her Roddy sings on all the original album tracks, and makes an especially fine job on every one of them, and would surprise quite a few of those disbeliever's in the process with 'Ol Man River' ...

I am a bit of a Blues fan but have the original version of this on LP,perhaps I didn't realise at the time how much of a blues album it was as being a teenager got into pop-rock but time has changed me.
The bonus tracks are great and for me they should have been on the original as they are the best tracks on the cd.Rod Stewarts voice is about the best I have heard it and Beck's guitar playing has so much feel to it on the slower tracks.

Although everything that has been said in the other reviews is absolutely true, what hasn't been mentioned is the degree of light and shade within the album. Ol' Man River is not an obvious choice for a heavy rock band, yet the performance is surperb, with masterful vocals and some tasty slide playing from Beck. The canned applause on Blues Deluxe is a little irritating, but the execution is excellent once again. Beck's acoustic performance of Greensleaves is a nice change of pace, while Beck's Bolero shows the sheer musicality of the band and their collaborators (Jimmy Page and Keith Moon on this particular track). There's good stuff in the bonus tracks especially I've Been Drinking. It's worth pointing out that this should probably be seen ... Read More:

Well, well, well. I have read a lot about this album, but despite the fact that I am a big JB fan I have never own the album until now. And what a waste of time. The album is even better than expected, and even the sound quality is rather good despite the age of the recordings. All the musicians does a brilliant job, not strange most of them went on to become rather famous. I wonder how fare this group could have gone if the work on this album have been continued. If you listen to early Led Zeppelin the similarity is obvious. I can only give this album, including the bonus tracks, my very very best recommendations.

The re-release of this lost classic has me frothing at the mouth. Featuring a young (24 year old) Jeff Beck, a then relatively unknown Rod Stewart,a future Rolling Stone in the form of Ronnie Wood this album set the blue print for others to follow, most noteably the mighty Led Zeppelin. Beck shows on this that he is capable of turning his hand to anything, from blues, folk and jazz to out and out psychedelia and on the way produces a record that would soon become a masterclass in musicianship. Cobbled together to "record some of the rubbish we'd been playing live", Beck and cohorts recorded one of the most influential albums of the era, possibly of all time, and the beauty of it is that although rapidly approaching 40 years old, this ...
