Album Description
Available in:
Who Else! is the seventh studio album by guitarist Jeff Beck, released on 16 March 1999 through Epic Records. It reached #99 on that year's Billboard 200 chart and remained charted for five weeks. The album marks the end of a decade-long absence of original material from Beck since the release of Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop in 1989. Stylistically it showcases the first of his many forays into electronic and techno music, deviating notably from the straightforward instrumental rock and jazz fusion of previous albums. Fellow guitarist Jennifer Batten, having cited Beck's influence on her playing on a number of occasions, is featured as a collaborator and subsequently joined him on tour for three years.
User Album Review
Jeff Beck has never shied away from following trends, at least as far as the musical styles he uses to back up his signature guitar sound. Back in 1969, in a sleeve note on Beck-Ola, he noted that he hadn't come up with & anything totally original,' and instead made an album & with the accent on heavy music' at a time when the 'heavy music' of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Led Zeppelin was all the rage.
In 1975, at the height of the jazz fusion movement, he made a jazz fusion album, and a good one, too. In both cases, however, the fashionable genres only provided a contemporary-sounding context in which his playing could flourish. If anyone has ever needed to be inspired to work, it's this recluse. So on his first regular studio album of new material in ten years, Who Else!, Beck, on at least a few tracks, solos over heavily percussive techno tracks reminiscent of Prodigy.
But whether he's piercing such a rhythmic wall, rearranging the blues on the live 'Blast From the East,' or floating over an ambient soundscape on 'Angel (Footsteps),' it's the same old Beck, with his stinging and sustained single-note melodies, his harmonics, his contrasting tones, his drive. And the man who played 'Greensleeves' straight on Truth in 1968 is the same one who is faithful to the Irish air 'Declan' here.
Older fans who haven't been spending time at raves in recent years may want to program their CDs to avoid the electronica, but they should at least give those tunes a listen -- are they any heavier than the 'heavy music' of 1969?
