Beck, Jeff: Tribute (Vinyl EP)
Regular price
€26.95
The album includes “Midnight Walker Lament”, which combines the instrumental “Midnight Walker” from 18 (Beck’s 2022 album with Johnny Depp) with a spoken word poem by Imelda May written at Jeff’s suggestion and approval, which he loved. Sadly, it was first performed live to track at his funeral. An Irish singer and poet, May first appeared with Beck on Rock ’n’ Roll Party (honouring Les Paul), a live album he released in 2011 as a tribute to pioneering guitarist Les Paul. Opera singer Olivia Safe, another Beck collaborator, appears on the live version of “Elegy For Dunkirk”. Beck released a studio version featuring Safe in 2010 on his Grammy-winning album, Emotion & Commotion. At Beck’s memorial in February, Safe sang composer Gabriel Fauré’s “Requiem: In Paradisum”
Jeff Beck Tribute ends with a blistering live version of “Going Down” recorded in Paris. Beck performed this Freddie King rocker live throughout most of his career. On this version, he’s backed by bassist Rhonda Smith, drummer Jonathan Joseph, vocalist Jimmy Hall, and guitarist Carmen Vandenberg.
