Album Number Seventy-Nine (Ahhh, no 1971’s Rough and Ready) “Jeff Beck Group” is the fourth and final studio album by the #thejeffbeckgroup and the second album with the line up of #jeffbeck #bobbytench #CliveChaman, #maxmiddleton and #cozypowell . The album was produced by #stevecropper and often referred to as the Orange Album, because of the orange which appears prominently at the top of the front cover. My copy is on #epicrecords - PE 31331. During January 1972 the second Jeff Beck Group flew to the US and joined Beck at TMI Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Some of the songs they worked on were already in their stage act and unlike #roughandready (1971) they also recorded five cover songs for this album, including a new version of Ashford & Simpson's "I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel for You" and Carl Perkins's Sun Records release, "Glad All Over" (1957). #rockandroll #theseventies https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWjH6Vrddc/?utm_medium=tumblr

This particular band was made up of musicians ‘ musicians and never really had great success, however the 2 albums of material were good, not game changing or even that commercial, however the playing and as NME’s Roy Carr stated that the quality of the performances “ far exceeds that of the material “ now with that being said… #goingdown is mind blowing, as Jeff just winds up and blitzes riffs that are from Jupiter and that is what we just love about Jeff! Having spent some quality time with him at #epicrecords and getting him to play #sxsw was simply awesome. I found this sealed original album from 1972 at #amoebamusic so good!

#roughandready #thejeffbeckgroup #cozypowell #bobbytench #cozypowell #maxmiddleton #clivechaman this #epicrecords release is one of my fave- I believe this is when Jeff really embraced the fender Stratocaster and on this record / it’s everyone playing lead at the same time - you have to admire that in 1971 Jeff would have a great mixed band - this soulful album is beautiful, with some of the best players around - check out Cozy Powell - what a Monster Player check out #newwaystraintrain the break in the middle is someone showing chops from some other planet. I was lucky enough to to witness this band in May of 1972 in #detroit #cobo Enjoy! (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUwuPQF9q0/?igshid=1vvkdrkirwczn
