‘Truth’ was originally released in 1968 and was Beck’s debut solo album, and it introduced the world to the talents of Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. Having left the Yardbirds in 1966, it’s an album that is held in high esteem, lauded at the time of release and breaking into the top 15 of the Billboard Top LPs, it has retrospectively been hailed as a classic, seen by many as one of the earliest examples of heavy rock and has also been celebrated as one of the greatest British blues rock albums of all time.
’Beck-Ola’ is the second album by Beck and the first credited to The Jeff Beck Group. It was released in 1969 and broke into the US top 15 of the Billboard 200 and top 40 of the UK album chart. Beck had purposefully made personnel changes to the band in order to take them in an even heavier rock direction from ‘Truth’ This album once again featured Wood and Stewart but would be their final album with the Jeff Beck Group.
