No 1: JEFF BECK-BECK-OLA

An album that has as much a Rock influence as much as a Blues influence is still the finest blues album to be made in Britain. Our experience of trad. blues was unfortunately distorted with the onset of commercialism and Britain resorted to a Blues/ Rock Hybrid that yielded many classic bands in the late 60's.

Yardbirds/John Mayall/Jimmy Page/Jeff Beck-all names that became entwined to create dirty electric blues and my first taste of the blues. Looking back,I appreciate that my blues knowledge is limited, yet I always equated the blues with feeling and integrity and Beck-ola (despite the guitar histronics) is a open and passionate work
