JEFF BECK
with
ROD STEWART, NICKY HOPKINS, JOHN PAUL JONES, RON WOOD, MICK WALLER
While he was as innovative as Jimmy Page, as tasteful as Eric Clapton, and nearly as visionary as Jimi Hendrix,
Jeff Beck never achieved the same commercial success as any of those contemporaries,
primarily because of the haphazard way he approached his career. He earned a reputation
by supporting Lord Sutch, which helped him land the job as the Yardbirds' lead guitarist following
the departure of Eric Clapton. Beck stayed with the Yardbirds for nearly two years,
leaving in late 1966 with the pretense that he was retiring from music.
Later in 1967, he formed the Jeff Beck Group with vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ron Wood,
and drummer Aynsley Dunbar, who was quickly replaced by Mickey Waller;
keyboardist Nicky Hopkins joined in early 1968

Truth was almost as groundbreaking and influential a record as the first Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Who albums.
Its attributes weren't all new -- Cream and Jimi Hendrix had been moving in similar directions,
but the combination was: the wailing, heart-stoppingly dramatic vocalizing by Rod Stewart,
the thunderous rhythm section of Ron Wood's bass and Mickey Waller's drums,
and Beck's blistering lead guitar, which sounds like his amp is turned up to 13 and ready to short out.
Beck opens the proceedings in a strikingly bold manner, using his old Yardbirds hit
"Shapes of Things" as a jumping-off point, deliberately rebuilding the song
from the ground up so it sounds closer to Howlin' Wolf...(AllMusic)
