Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck

 A Jeff Beck cover is a tall order. 

Morse is in the small company of players who can pull it off.

The only element JB brought that Morse misses is the occasional outburst of blues aggression.  Maybe it’s the compression or lower volume, but when Beck wants to let the anger out, you know it, and in Morse’s hands it seems muted.  But I am delighted to have been introduced to a master player.  

I see what you mean. Perhaps it has to do with Beck's age at the time Blow By Blow was recorded relative to Morse's age when he covered the tune.

2 different interpretations.

The story behind the song. Thanks to Stevie Wonder.
