Description by OLDIES.com:
From the architect of hard rock, to the "most distinguished and disturbingly powerful" jazz-rock performer of his day, to the acknowledged master of progressive rock guitar, Jeff Beck has been constantly reinventing himself and his music for over thirty years.
Yet despite a lifetime's career in rock, Beck remains and intensely private person. Now, for the first time, this enlightening portrait tells the story of a complex, often contradictory man, with a wealth of biographical, musical, and historical detail - plus a comprehensive discography.
Drawing from sources which go back to Beck's early days, before his reign as a psychedelic guitar hero with the Yardbirds in the 1960s, this is the ultimate biography of a rock guitarist whose determination is always to push back the boundaries of music.
