History

The Jeff Beck Group turned British blues into something louder and more volatile, pairing Jeff Beck's unpredictable, feedback-laced guitar with Rod Stewart's raw, husky voice. Beck assembled the band in London after leaving the Yardbirds, with Ronnie Wood on bass, pianist Nicky Hopkins joining on record and the drum chair changing hands. The 1968 album Truth set the template that heavy blues rock would follow: slowed-down, weighty reworkings of blues standards, dramatic dynamics and guitar used as a second voice, along with "Beck's Bolero", recorded earlier with Jimmy Page among the players. Beck-Ola in 1969 pushed the volume and aggression further. The lineup was restless, and Stewart and Wood soon left to join the Faces. Beck later rebuilt the group around a new cast, including drummer Cozy Powell and keyboardist Max Middleton, for two early-1970s albums that leaned toward soul and funk. The first version is the one most often cited as a blueprint for hard rock, recognisable by call-and-response between voice and guitar and a heavy, swinging stomp.
