Hi
The album is OK, a few good tracks but overall its not as good as hes done.
The last album " Live at Ronnie Scotts" is far superior and I would definetly suggest you check it out. Its also an awesome Blu ray if you have a decent surround system.

I agree with Welsh, there are some really good tracks and a few not so great ones on this new album. What can you say? Jeff is known for uneven albums. I was happy with Joss Stone's performance and glad she has made a return to her more soulful voice (that diva style just didn't fit). As far as other albums to recommend, I would pick 'Blow by Blow' and 'Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop'.
Along with the releases mentioned so far you may want to give a listen to some of his late 60's, early 70's music.
I find it more consistent and rhythmic. Try these: Wired, Jeff Beck Group, Rough & Ready, Truth, Beck-Ola.
Great album. Highly recommended
Great to see the heads up write up in Phile as well.
I bought this as well after buying a used lp copy of blow by blow to find out if I should invest in more JB.
The second track is very compressed, but overall the disc is pretty good.
