I didn’t grow up on Jeff Beck, but I always knew him as the guitar players’ kind of guitar player. The tributes from all the legendary players pouring in certainly seems to prove it. When I got back into vinyl in ’19 I grabbed a couple of his albums, used, at my local shop and suddenly had to buy a few more. I’m now a huge "new" fan and am stunned.
A legendary talent has been lost. His legend and recordings live forever wherever people have ears. :)
I have a real soft spot for the Jeff Beck Group cover of "Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You". RIP
