Album Review - Jeff Beck - Truth [Expanded / Remastered]
Released in 1968, Jeff Beck's solo debut Truth is a mess of an album.
Within the span of its 10 tracks, he -- along with vocalist Rod Stewart,
bass player Ron Wood, and drummer Micky Waller -- left few stones
unturned as they connected show tunes (Old Man River) with apocalyptic
folk (Morning Dew) and Yardbirds classics (Shapes of Things) with
pastoral tradition (Greensleeves). Likewise, tucked amidst the set's
material, which sprang from a series of sessions that were held in May
1968, was a faux live cut (Blues De Luxe) as well as the psych-rock
instrumental Beck's Bolero, which was plucked from an aborted 1966
collaboration with Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, John Paul Jones, and Nicky
Hopkins.
