After leaving The Yardbirds, Jeff Beck assembled a crew featuring then unknowns Rod Stewart and Ron Wood-in hindsight, a supergroup in reverse. They weren’t together long enough to reach their full potential, but on tracks like “I Ain’t Superstitious” they produced a template for much British blues-rock that was to follow-most notably, Led Zeppelin. With Beck, Rod Stewart emerged as a great new rock vocalist, the raspy, soulful likes of whom had perhaps only been heard before in Janis Joplin. As for Beck, his wicked string-bending, devilish distortion and fearless approach defines what it means to take musical risks-and to thoroughly succeed.
