5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Comeback For Jeff Beck, December 16, 2004

ROUGH AND READY announced the return of Jeff Beck after a near-fatal car accident, and who could've thought of a better way to do it? Mixing Memphis funk with heavy metal, he adds soulful vocals from Bob Tench, who is as unique in his own way as Rod Stewart was in his. This album is a must have for both R&B AND metal fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jeff Beck on the verge, August 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rough & Ready (Audio CD)

Somewhere after this album, Jeff realized that he would no longer need the obstructions of vocalists, nor would he need to pursue "that Motown sound" ever again. Yes, the vocals and the crunchy funk is still here, but you can detect a coolness and clarification beginning here, much thanks to Max Middleton's contributions. Fusion is around the corner.

One track that stands above all the rest is the haunting instrumental "Max's Tune", originally titled "Raines Park Blues". It is a wet, rainy gray afternoon of a suite that is certainly one of the greatest Jeff Beck moments ever recorded.
It is worth the album all by itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorites, October 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rough & Ready (Audio CD)

I originally bought this in 8-track format, then LP, cassette and now CD...it is a classic, where every song on the album is excellent. "Jody" and "Situation" are my favorites and I can't believe they didn't get included in the box set...in fact none of the album did!!
