Jeff Beck And Johnny Depp – 18 – CD Released 15/07/22

Description

Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp tapped into the frustration of living through the pandemic in 2020 with their well-timed cover of John Lennons Isolation. The Grammy winning guitarist and Hollywood Vampires co-founder are back with their first album together. On the new record, Becks first studio effort in six years, the artists coax unexpected performances from one another on 11 covers and two originals that touch on everything from Celtic and Motown to John Lennon, the Beach Boys and The Velvet Underground. The result is a wild roller coaster ride through different genres where hairpin juxtapositions deliver some of the albums biggest thrills. A remarkable example comes early on when the industrial stomp of Killing Jokes Death And Resurrection Show gives way to the intense heartache of Dennis Wilsons Time. Each performance stands on its own, but the sharp contrast created by sequencing them together heightens the emotional impact of both songs.
