The album’s lineup included amazing rock drummer Terry Bazzio and producer keyboardist Tony Hymas who also wrote or co-wrote every song on the album.

But if Rod Stewart was so shy that his first gigs were spent hiding behind speakers, he showed no such intimidation in the studio. Opening with a Jeff Buckley tune, the heaviest rocker soon takes off on “Hammerhead”, with a killer blues riff augmented by a real orchestra. It was the album Blow By Blow that shocked everybody who had pegged Jeff Beck as just another blues lead player, albeit a great one. The Yardbirds' second Top 10 hit (their first, "For Your Love," was released a few months before and featured Eric Clapton on guitar) marked one of Beck's early career highlights. It is a begrudgingly interesting effort even if many listeners including Jeff himself would rather forget it.For jazzier edges and funkier grooves, Jeff employed the likes of keyboardist Max Middleton and singer Bob Tench in an effort to shed the heavy metal image and make not only a more accessible sound, but a greater platform of freedom for Jeff to get closer to that sound he was restlessly pursuing; there are moments of this when the group ventures into extended, funk-inflected, reflective jazzy instrumental sections.

Songs range from the opening with “The Revolution Will Be Televised,” countering the 1960s belief that it wouldn’t be, to “Scared for the Children,” a disturbing description of the present. To make voting for your favorite records easier, we haven't included Jeff Beck’s singles, EPs, or compilations, so everything you see here should only be studio albums. Of course, there's no rock musician who can shine if they don’t have a half-decent song to express themselves in. Beck's recordings starting with the single "Dracula's Daughter"/"Come Back Baby" with Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages in 1962.Jeff Beck recouped after his car crash and the loss of Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, and redefined what the Jeff Beck Group could be with 1971's 'Rough and Ready'. And the man who played "Greensleeves" straight on Truth in 1968 is the same one who is faithful to the Irish air "Declan" here.
