"If you've never heard the Rod Stewart-era Jeff Beck Group, then you're missing a major piece of rock history. It was this group, and not Led Zeppelin, that pioneered the heavy blues that would evolve into heavy metal ("Truth" was released in '68, "Led Zeppelin I" in '69). Several of these tracks even out-Zep the mighty Zep. The blues covers are better than Zep's, and if you were to imagine Led Zep playing every track with the looseness that they do on "Rock'n'Roll", you have a good idea of what the Jeff Beck Group sounds like. Beck's guitar on "You Shook Me" is not to be missed. Of the two, "Truth" is a much better album than "Beck-Ola", which is bogged down by some less than stellar material. However, the two Elvis covers on "Beck-Ola" are ace."
Oh yeah!

"This is real blow-out-the-speakers music! If your neighbors don't complain about you already, after you get this they will for sure. Tremendous lineup, Jeff Beck (Yardbirds alum), Rod Stewart (Faces), Ron Wood (also Faces), Nick Hopkins (various '70's bands including Faces), and hey, you get to hear Stewart sing a cover of Ol' Man River with Beck on bass. I still have my vinyl from 25 years ago and wouldn't give it up for all the oil in Iraq."
