This remains up there as one of my favorite Jeff Beck records. It's before he takes the turn into heavy fusion. Also love the vocals by one, young Rod Stewart.

I'll never forgive Rod Stewart for the choices he made. He could have been one of the great Blues singers. Maggie May indeed.

I love the Ol" Man River standard rendered as an electric, rock blues number! The voicing is perfect.

Bill Nelson went on to have a very prolific solo career with experimental, avant garde electronics etc. I saw him in concert on the Sunburst Finish tour and he was also an incredible showman...third to Paris and Golden Earring, but clearly the top performer..Very under appreciated here in the USofA.

Who knew this freakin guy was handsome. Put on some weight, too, since the 60's I see. Haven't heard this. Lost track of him after that "New Orleans" coffee house gig (in Berkeley

) with bass player and friend Jack Casady. Love "Mann's Fate" from that album. Never gets old to me. Really good stuff never does don't ya know.
