nature boy

Originally released in1969 on Verve this is a truly lost jewel. Joe Beck, one of the most famous jazz guitar players, recorded this album with fellow Donald McDonald on drums and among guest musicians is Danny Whitten, guitar player of Crazy Horse before they worked together with Neil Young. On this album Beck, influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, created a song-oriented psychedelic rock style with slightly jazz influences showing his remarkable guitar skills, including some fine Wah-Wah treatments. Most awesome track is "Nature Boy", Gandalf also did a fabolous version of it. This album released for the first time on CD comes with informative booklet, from the original mastertapes. Highly recommended stuff!
