Podcast Episode Summary
Coming up on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, host David Dye welcomes guitar hero Jeff Beck. Beginning with the Yardbirds in the '60s, Jeff's numerous manifestations set the template for a generation of hard rock, heavy metal, and jazz fusion. His career includes albums with his own Jeff Beck Group, featuring a young Rod Stewart as the vocalist, a power trio with bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice, and two landmark instrumental albums, "Blow By Blow" and "Wired." Now, after a seven-year recording hiatus, Jeff Beck has a new studio release, "Emotion and Commotion." In this interview, Beck discusses how he felt playing with a string orchestra, revealing that the album began as a classical project, and how his style differs from that of his recent co-headliner, Eric Clapton.
