Music reviews of Jeff
Music Review: JB is no Hendix or Page, but...
Rating: 3 Stars
Jeff Beck may not be the possessed virtuoso that is Jimi Hendrix or the gifted composer/producer that is Jimmy Page, but he is one of the finest musical artists of our time. JB has created some of the most astounding, original rock sounds to blast off that British Isle. I can hear you hard core Beck fans screaming that Jimmy Page stole his act from Jeff, but c'mon. Page took what he borrowed from JB and transfomed it into his very own grand dark celtic blues rock sound. They were BOTH stealing from the same original American music.
So this particular Jeff Beck album is a lot more of that familiar incredible guitar sound, so smooth and hot, but laid over and wrapped around some neat new beats and rhythms. It's great to hear Beck still exploring new sounds, and some of these are even pretty good, but some are not so great. A few, like, "Porc-U-Pine", "Hot Rod Honeymoon", and "Pay Me No Mind" are more than a little corny. "My Thing" just escapes being tedious, thanks only to Jeff's guitar. On the other hand "So What", "Plan B", "Trouble Man", and "Grease Monkey" are all radical good fun. Very tight and satisfying beats. "Seasons", "Jb's Blues", "Bulgaria", and "Why Lord Oh Why?" are all beautiful, sublime, delicate slow tempo blues ballads that resonate with the forty plus years of performance history that is Jeff's soul.
Jeff doesn't need me or anyone else to hype his talent to the unaware masses, he's done just fine in the twisted, evil music game. So I'm not going to worry about maybe discouraging anyone from checking out this disc; if you're already a Jeff Beck fan then you know about this CD, and if you're not, then there are much better ones to check out. Like "Wired", for instance, which is one of the top 25 rock albums of the 20th century.

Description of Jeff
Calling fabled guitar god Jeff Beck "mercurial" doesn't do justice to the word ? or the legend himself. While this latest blast of maniacal Beckology seems to form a loose techno-centric triptych with its predecessors, by no means is the guitarist resting on his laurels here. If anything, his continuing collaboration with You Had It Coming producer Andy Wright (aided and deliciously sonically subverted by Splattercell's David Torn and Apollo 440) has yielded one of Beck's most muscular--if willfully challenging--collections of musical future shock. Save for the elegant, orchestra-backed take on the traditional folk of "Bulgaria" and introspective respite of "Line Dance with Monkey' and "JB's Blues," the guitarist seems to have little interest in traditional lyricism here, instead coaxing an inventive maelstrom of unearthly, metallic timbres and alien modalities from his instrument on the angular "Trouble Man," the hypnotic grooves of "So What" and the Torn-icated, melodic minimalism of "Plan B." On "Grease Monkey" and "Hot Rod Honeymoon," Apollo 440 playfully fold Beck's notorious car-culture fetishes into an ironic sonic origami of retro-samples and tense electro-rhythms, the latter highlighted by his neo-country chicken-pickin' and incomparable slide work. That track may be cast as mock Beach Boys car tune, but there's definitely nothing nostalgic about the evocative, often hard-edged mood here; it might as well be subtitled "Beck to the Future." --Jerry McCulleyClassic Rock CDs
