georgio Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Just listened to Jeff Beck's new album - well produced and captivating stuff. It hasn't been released on Amazon yet for some reason - I just bought my copy in Hong Kong. http://www.amazon.com/Emotion-Commotion-Jeff-Beck/dp/B003405MF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1269678770&sr=8-1 Good mix of material and exceptional sound quality. All I was thinking was - Jimmy Page needs to be making an album as good as this. Beck hasn't made a solo album in 7 years, but managed to find a way to connect with his instrument and bring out some great music. Almost 20 years is a long time since Page's last album...he needs people to reconnect with, like Beck did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah J Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ordered mine from Best Buy- should be here in the next day or so:-) Can't wait to see him June 11th!!!

RPOZ51 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I heard some clips from the new album, and liked the sound. Thanks for the YouTube clip! Saw Jeff with Clapton at Madison Square Garden last month, and will see him again on June 5 at the Borgata in Atlantic City. I recently tossed an old issue of a music magazine that had a joint interview with Jeff and Jimmy, and they tossed around the idea of recording together. I was hoping this would be it, but it hasn't happened. There was a rumor that Jimmy was back stage at the Garden, but that was all it seemed to be.

TULedHead Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Looking forward to his new album and seeing him live next month. Is he touring with the female bassist (drawing a blank on her name!)? Which drummer will be on tour with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgio Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 All the vocalists are female on his new album - Joss Stone sounds like Tina Turner on a couple of tracks. Not sure who will be covering the vocals on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which drummer will be on tour with him? The bassist is Rhonda Smith. She used to play with Prince. Tal Wilkenfeld isn't with him on this tour. Narada Michael Waldon is on drums. He had played on Wired. http://www.jeffbeck.com/bio2.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gospel Zone Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 All the vocalists are female on his new album - Joss Stone sounds like Tina Turner on a couple of tracks. Not sure who will be covering the vocals on tour. That's not good news. I saw Joss Stone singing with Jamie Hartman on Jay Leno the other night. I laughed my ass off because both of these singers have such weird voices and together it looked like two people lip syncing to someone else's recording. It's hard to believe those are their real voices. But getting back to Jeff Beck....his last three albums, WHO ELSE, YOU HAD IT COMING, and JEFF all had these stupid little hip-hop, rap, or what ever vocal parts, so I'm going to have to hear this one first before I buy it.

RPOZ51 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 just looked........should be able to bag something in the first 5 rows fairly cheaply.......now if only i had a date..... Derek Trucks is supposed to be a "Very Special Guest" on June 3rd. It sure would be interesting if they both happen to end up on the stage at the same time with guitars in hand. At first, I was thinking of taking a ride up there from Jersey, but it would be tough to get away from work, and then I scored tickets to see him on in AC. Sorry about the date thing. Can't help you there!! LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of good Jeff stuff on YouTube. I found a great Jeff/Les Paul clip yesterday. It looked like they were having a great time. Jeff strolled on stage with his Strat, and Les pulled the cord out of Jeff's guitar. Jeff (I think with Imelda May) will be doing a tribute to Les Paul at the Iridium in June: http://www.iridiumjazzclub.com/talent.php?talent=839&month=6&year=2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 'georgio' and All, Sorry to disagree with you all but if you think JP needs people to reconnect with then he needs to connect with completely different people than JB has or he will end up with the same type of music JB has created on this album, "Hank Marvin meets Jimi Hendrix meets Pink Floyd meets Alice in Wonderland" If this is Jeff at his best then i would rather listen to Jimmy at his worst, where is the Rock? where is the Roll? and where is the Blues in this Album? its music for being put on hold on the telephone, and i hate that type of music, he could do so much better if he went back too his roots, this is even worse than what Clapton has done. Yes its well presented, yes its Professionally put together, Yes it has Jeff's guitar trickery, but it leaves me cold, if this is progress then I'm staying back in the Stone Age with all the other Ageing Rockers and Blues Affictionardos. Regards, Danny PS, 5/10 for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a great CD. Pagemeister so kindly posted a link to listen to the whole album: http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=125420200&m=125434550 Call me nostalgic, but Jeff Beck is always amazing. I think I own everything he has done. I am sure he will end up with another bluesy rock and roll album, but this one IMHO is also a great listen. Just my thoughts As far as Jimmy, I just want to see him on stage doing anything!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Debs, Thanks for not jumping on my back, that's mighty good of you considering your a Jeff Beck fan, so am i mostly, and i did listen to the whole album, four times straight, and i cant find anything positive to say about it, it leaves me feeling cold. I don't find anything nostalgic about this album, other than Jeff's Guitar playing, its quite an uninteresting listen too me, but then again I'm quite set in my musical ways, i like Led Zeppelin, the Blues, and a few other Rock Groups, Medieval Fayre Music, Classical Music, Whale Song, so i am quite diverse in my taste wouldn't you say? But when i don't like something i say so, even if its my Idols doing it, Robert included, and if i wouldn't listen to a type of music anyway then Jimmy playing on it wouldn't change my mind either, call me what you will but I'm not Fickle and I'm not a Chameleon, I'm an obnoxious bastard most of the time, the rest of the time I'm just plain mean. Not Elevator music, Telephone music, the music that they play when you're left on hold, and that's what my wife said to me when i was listening to the album, "They still leaving you on hold dear" and she likes all sorts of music, and lets not forget, Jimmy and Robert are not just "EYECANDY".

sixpense Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 A really good cd. I'm glad to see that all the techno-metal is out of his system. A lot of fine guitar leads similar to Where Were You from Guitar Shop back in 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link. I just listened to the whole thing for the first time. I know that taste in music is subjective, but I have to say that I really like it. I could pop that one in the car, and go for a drive. I don't know about Jeff being eye candy, but he seems to be a genuinely nice guy.
