I must say that the long wait for a new studio recording from the brilliant Jeff Beck was certainly worth it. What an experience to hear the Fender bendin' Stratocaster version of Puccini's gem Nessun Dorma, and if it does not bring a tear to your eyes or at least some semblance of a sentimental buzz, you may be dead. Also, hearing Joss Stone sing the daylights out of the Screaming Jay Hawkins' classic I Put A Spell On You is worth the price of admission.We even get to hear Jeff play the wonderful wizard's Somewhere Over The Rainbow in his own inimitable style.There's a wah-wah infected real gritty rocker/jazzer called Hammerhead that should suitably curl your toes! Give it a listen and you won't be disappointed. I'm enjoying it more than the Ronnie Scott's live cd!
