Album Review: Jeff Beck - Loud Hailer

Jeff Beck is far more than a relic of a past era.

Where many/most of his peers had reputations that became quite static within the blues revival era, Beck has always striven to change and evolve with the times. Part of what makes this achievable, what makes each release fresh, is his openness to influence and his collaborations. This release sees the vocals of Rosie Bones brought to the foreground — raw and strong but, more importantly, absolutely riddled with attitude. Beck's guitar needs no preamble, he's as diverse and impressive as ever.
