Mere words can't come close to capturing the incredible magic of the fusion-inspired work laid down by guitarist Jeff Beck in the mid-'70s. The George Martin produced Blow by Blow (Epic Records/March of 1975) must be heard to be believed.

Running on instrumental freewheeling innovation, the nine song album features the hyper "Scatterbrain", the bumper-to-bumper "Freeway Jam", the effects-laced "Constipated Duck", a cover of "She's a Woman", and the sobering "Cause We've Ended as Lovers", which Stevie Wonder penned specifically for Beck.An absolute legend on the guitar. None of these songs need anything else. They are orchestrated perfectly. The drums are killer too and I feel they might get overshadowed because of how heavily featured the guitar is.

The diverse and inspired Blow by Blow is pure genius from a legendary guitarist, which served as Beck's most popular LP release.5.0
