jeff beck

So I’m looking for opinions. Jeff Beck’s new album Emotion & Commotion comes out Tuesday April 13th. I gotta say when I read this discussion of the album, what jumped out at me was the cover art. Is this is a joke? It looks like something that would be painted on the side of a van in 1987. A bald eagle carrying a Fender Strat by it’s talons backlit by the sun breaking through stormy clouds. I can’t even imagine telling that concept to an artist with a straight face. Do you disagree?

Jeff Beck has started posting blog entries on his site. He started April 1st and has posted three thus far. So 1-2 posts a month should be about what to expect. I haven’t watched a ton of Jeff Beck interviews so I’m not familiar enough with his personality to figure out how to interpret some of the statements. I’m assuming they are jokes but you never know.

“In Cleveland we met up with a group of FBI people who showed us around. In return we invited them to the concert. They seemed to have a really good time but ended up putting my manager in handcuffs!!”
