JEFF BECK “BLOW BY BLOW” SONY

“Jeff Beck is unbelievable, and this album, released in 1975, is no exception. It’s fully instrumental, first of all, which every once in a while I totally enjoy. Most instrumentals get old after a while, but not Jeff. This album is funky and a little jazzy; and even though it’s only a three-piece, it sounds like an orchestra. There’s a song on it dedicated to Roy Buchanan called ‘Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers.’ I’m not sure why the song is called that, but it’s amazing nonetheless. I went to see Stevie Ray Vaughn right before he died, and [co-headliner] Jeff Beck blew him off the stage—which is pretty hard to do. Over the years, Jeff Beck has played everything with everyone, and he’s still around recording and producing after all these years. His new songs are pretty good, but I like rekindling my brain with old stuff like this.” // DYZZY DIEHM
