Music reviews of Live With the Jan Hammer Group
Music Review: most underrated record ever?
Rating: 5 Stars
I say underrated because when this record came out it was lambasted by the critics. Find an old copy of the Rolling Stone Record guide, and they gave it like one star!!! Never understood that.
Listening to said recording right now. The first three tracks are a tour de force! Freeway Jam just sizzles all the way through. Earth is Still Our Only Home starts off innocently enough, but once they let loose it's a wallop, this number really percolates, with some real nice flourishes by Mr. Hammer, it's just funky! She's a Woman was just fine as a Beatles song, but Jeff Beck really pumps some new life into it with his reading here (he's done the same to A Day in the Life in recent years), with some reggae inspired playing. Listen to Jeff tear up the Strat, he's the guv'nor!!! Whose the guitarist on everyones top 5 list? On Darkness Earth in Search of a Sun the band as a whole gets more of a chance to shine, it's not so much a Beck showpiece, but a nice blend of jazz rock fusion. Scatterbrain is that as well, but here Jeff is back at the helm, bending those strings and churning out some delicious fret work. Freeway Jam is classic Beck, one of his signature songs done flawlessly.
This record was my introduction to Jeff Beck post Yardbirds, and after all these years I still find it very enjoyable to listen to.
I never understood why those critics didn't like this record, and frankly I never really cared. Buy, play, turn up and enjoy!
