Recommend a Jeff Beck album

[kiwiclapton]

Hi guys, I've not heard much of the work by Jeff Beck. In my readings and discussions his name pops up more and more. What's a good album to get that will give a pretty good introduction to his work and style?

Cheers

I guess Blow by Blow is the top classic (or Truth is you go to really early stuff). But he has many styles of albums... very modern, fusion, rockabilly, hard rock...

I dig him on Jools Holland TV show, check those on Youtube...

The other choice is to search for where he has played, instead of his own studio albums.

Cheers, what guitar did he use on Truth?

Blow by Blow and Wired is the two albums that really define his work post Yardbirds.

Guitar Shop cemented him in the 80's as guitar hero status

Get Live at Ronnie Scotts if you want to hear a excellent example of him now!!

I've got nine JB albums including all of the above. My favourite is You Had It Coming.

Acoording to the 2nd paragraph on the page of the site linked below - a Les Paul. Truth is recorded by his band with Rod Stewart on vocals and Ron Wood on bass I think.
