{"product_id":"best-of-beck","title":"Best Of Beck","description":"\u003cp\u003e14 tracks that trace Jeff's entire career, from his precedent-shattering guitar-playing for the Yardbirds, through his solo work with Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart to the tasty jazz-rock fusion of the '70s and '80s! Includes Shapes of Things; Beck's Bolero; Freeway Jam; She's a Woman; Goodbye Pork Pie Hat , and more. Vernon Reid pens the notes! ~~~ Ever restless as a musician and constantly changing directions and trying new things, guitarist Jeff Beck is difficult to reduce to a 14-track overview, although this set probably does as well as one could at sketching in the portrait. Beginning as a guitarist for the Yardbirds in the 1960s, Beck hit his stride with the Jeff Beck Group (which featured a then relatively unknown Rod Stewart as lead singer) later in the decade, and \"Shapes of Things\" (initially a radio hit for the Yardbirds), \"Plynth,\" and \"Beck's Bolero\" are represented here from that era. Also here are several of Beck's mid-'70s fusion tracks, including \"Freeway Jam\" and \"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,\" as well as his 1980s reunion with Stewart, “People Get Ready.” Again, Beck is a difficult artist to capture in a single-disc drive-by, but for folks curious about this fine guitarist and wanting a quick sampler of his work in several of his various guises, this set works fine as an introduction. ~~~ AllMusic Review by Steve Leggett, ISBN13: B000002AAU ISBN10: B000002AAU Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109462167715,"sku":"B10.28.12 F_04-16-25_UBD_H0000AXS","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/81_VrBI-ZtL.jpg?v=1754570875","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/best-of-beck","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
