Ex-Jeff Beck Group Singer Bobby Tench Dies at 79

- Musician also played wifh Humble Pie, Van Morrison, Eric Burdon and others

Ex-Jeff Beck Group singer Bobby Tench has died at 79.

Tench died Feb. 19 of undisclosed causes, per media reports.

The singer and guitarist replaced Rod Stewart in the Jeff Beck Group, appearing on the band’s 1971 Rough and Ready album and its 1972 self-titled LP, which spawned “Going Down.”

Tench was “one of the greatest singers to ever step behind the mic,” Joe Bonamassa said.

“Rest in peace, Bobby.”

Tench would go on to work with Van Morrison on 1978’s Wavelength and played on Eric Burdon’s Darkness, Darkness, among other supporting roles. He then joined Humble Pie and recorded the albums On to Victory and Go for the Throat before the band split in 1981.

“All hail Bobby Tench,” Funkwrench Blues wrote on social media. “R.I.P.”

3128º Álbum: Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow

(1975) Epic

Jeff Beck es conocido principalmente por haber tocado en los Yardbirds, y siendo uno de los tres grandes guitarristas que pasaron por esta formación, junto con Eric Clapton y Jimi Page, de los tres tal vez el mejor y más desconocido.

Jeff Beck comenzó a ser conocido como guitarrista cuando llegó a los Yardbirds de la mano de Lord Sutch, con los que estuvo casi dos años, hasta finales de 1966.

En 1967 formó la que para mí es una de las más grandes bandas del rock de todos los tiempos, la primera formación de The Jeff Beck Group, en la que también estaban el vocalista Rod Stewart, el bajista Ron Wood, el teclista Nicky Hopkins (desde principios del 68) y Aynsley Dunbar a la batería (sustituido después por Mickey Waller).

Esta magnífica formación grabó dos discos rock blues asombrosos, Truth y Beck-Ola. Sobre todo, Truth, es una auténtica joya anterior al primer álbum de Led Zeppelin y al que no tiene nada que envidiar. El carácter errático y autodestructivo de Jeff Beck y las continuas peleas desbarataron una banda que habría podido llegar muy lejos de haber continuado. De todos modos el resultado de la marcha de Ron Wood y Rod Stewart fue otra estupenda banda, The Faces.

A partir de aquí parece que Jeff Beck empieza a deambular de un sitio para otro. Intentó crear un power trío del estilo de Cream, con Carmine Appice a la batería y Tim Bogert al bajo, pero todo esto se frustró cuando Jeff sufrió un grave accidente en 1970. La base rítmica de Vanilla Fudge se fue a Cactus y Jeff formó una nueva versión del Jeff Beck Group con el teclista Max Middleton, el batería Cozy Powell, el bajista Clive Chapman y el vocalista Bobby Tench. Grabaron Rough and Teady (1971) y Jeff Beck Group (1972) que pasaron sin pena ni gloria.

La disolución de Cactus en 1972 dio la oportunidad de crear el tan ansiado trío junto a Bogert y Appice. La formación registró un álbum en estudio y otro en directo (publicado inicialmente sólo en Japón). El resultado no convenció a nadie y el trío se disolvió.

Jeff Beck desapareció de la escena musical para aparecer en 1975 con la joya a la que está dedicada esta entrada: Blow By Blow. El disco fue producido por George Martin, y resulta un cambio bastante grande con respecto a lo que el guitarrista había venido haciendo hasta entonces. Fue un álbum instrumental de jazz-fusión que recibió muy buenas críticas.

Blow by Blow tipifica la genial carrera de Jeff Beck y lo imprevisible de sus discos. Lanzado en 1975, es su primer álbum instrumental, muy distinto del rock de sus anteriores trabajos. Solo el compositor / teclista Max Middleton había trabajado en formaciones anteriores de Beck. Blow by Blow cuenta con un tremendo nivel en los músicos que ayudaron a crearlo, desde Max Middleton, que añade calidez y emoción con sus teclados, pasando por el baterista Richard Bailey, que combina hábilmente elementos de jazz y funk, aportando una sección rítmica sólida y precisa. Los solos de Beck, variados y diversos, repletos de calidad y genialidad por igual, son el principal aliciente del álbum y en él demuestra ser un guitarrista rítmico igual de hábil. Una de las cualidades de este álbum es el sentido de la diversión que se respira en los temas, que los músicos se divertían y sentían lo que estaban haciendo. En la apertura de "You Know What I Mean", los solos de blues están llenos de formas imaginativas y saltos atrevidos. "Air Blower" contiene elaborados muros de ritmo donde van apareciendo los solos de guitarra. "Scatterbrain", con un teclado vertiginoso y líneas de guitarra repletas de energía. En la balada de Stevie Wonder "Cause We've Ended As Lovers", Beck desata suspiros, lamentos y gritos de dolor con su guitarra, en el más puro estilo de Roy Buchanan. "Freeway Jam" al igual que "Scatterbrain," son temas divertidos con impecables arreglos. El tema que cierra el álbum "Diamond Dust", otra joya perfecta y repleta de sentimiento. Blow by Blow marcó un pico creativo en la música de Jeff Beck y resultó ser un disco difícil de superar. Beck reapareció aquí rodeado de músicos geniales y entre todos lograron crear uno de los mejores discos del jazz rock, uno de esos discos imprescindibles que pasaron a la historia de la música.

Nicholas Bowen “Topper” Headon (born 30 May 1955), who is best known as one of the drummers for the band The Clash he joined the band in 1977 and was later released from the band in 1982 for his heavy drug use. After he joined the band and he wanted to stand out as an excellent drummer and was able to use his skills as a drummer to up the sound of The Clash. Headon began as a jazz drummer so he adapted his style to fit the punk sound of the band he is a finesse drummer, ya know? Most punk bands rip through each song clammering along but, they soon changed up and slowed down. Topper was one of punk’s best drummers with a mature sound which gave an advantage. He may have only playing with the band for a short time Topper was able to play on some of the Clash’s best albums and classic albums in punk music. After cleaning himself up Headon played in several bands even forming a small Jazz band. Headon now lives a simple life in England, giving lectures on drug abuse dangers and giving drumming tutorials and lectures on the music he occasionally will play with other bands. Headon played perfectly with each song if he needed to rip through a faster track he never missed a beat if it was a little more experimental he was on the beat as well. He is still is a major part of punk music.

Movie Review: “Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90”

“Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90” is so long …

HOW LONG IS IT, MR. SOUND BITES?

“Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90” is so long, the producers built in an intermission - a “4:20 break,” they called it - about halfway through the film’s three-hour run time. Oddly enough, the manager of the theater where the film debuted June 11 - encore showings are slated for June 13 and 14 - frowned upon those of us who took the reason for the pause literally, meaning we’ll have to wait for the home-video release for a real 4:20 break.

But it was needed, as the movie - edited down from Nelson’s April 29-30 all-star concerts/90th-birthday celebrations at the Hollywood Bowl - is far too long. For all the highlights, there are less-than-thrilling appearances from Beck, Nathaniel Rateliff, the Lumineers (singing “Pretty Paper” in April), Miranda Lambert, Sheryl Crow, George Strait, et. al that do little more than make the movie house chairs feel even more uncomfortable.

Built around some 40 performers, occasionally solo or with their own groups, but mostly backed by a house band that included music director Don Was on bass, Greg Leisz on pedal steel, former Black Crowes guitarist Audley Freed, soon-to-be-former Punch Brother Gabe Witcher on fiddle, Belmont Tench and Booker T. Jones on keys, Mickey Raphael on harmonica and the McCrary Sisters on background vocals, “Long Story Short” works despite its flaws.

And how could it not? With a band like that, a guest list that would render even the most famous person starstruck (Dave Matthews, who turned in an appropriately weird solo version of “Funny How Time Slips Away,” sure was) and a bunch of Nelson’s greatest songs - plus Warren Haynes singing “Midnight Rider” and Jack Johnson on the hilarious “Willie Got Me Stoned and Took All My Money” - the highlights are too many to mention.

But then there are the highest of the high, which follow in order of appearance:

* Billy Strings opening the show just as Nelson would and setting the tone with “Whiskey River.” The only thing wrong with this was saving one of the best for first, which is not how these things are supposed to work.

* Particle Kid - aka Micah Nelson - performing “Die When I’m High (Halfway to Heaven),” written from his father’s perspective, with Daniel Lanois playing pedal steel without picks. The effect was both comedic and ethereal.

* Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Payne and Raphael collaborating on Crowell’s “It Ain’t Over Yet,” a spellbinding song about aging gracefully in the music business.

* Rosanne Cash singing “Loving Her was Easier (Than Everything I’ll Ever Do Again)” to - and with - Kris Kristofferson while changing the word her to you. At 86, Kristofferson seems older than the birthday boy, making this heartfelt performance the stuff of lumps in throats as the two stood with arms around each other and sharing friendly kisses before Cash melted into the arms of her father’s former Highwaymen bandmate.

* Lukas Nelson channeling his father as a young man - both on guitar and at the mic - on an eerie solo performance of “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground.”

* Willie singing “Stardust” while trading solos with Jones.

* Norah Jones performing “Down Yonder” in memory of “little sister” Bobbie Nelson.

* The Avett Brothers - sans house band - admonishing everyone to “Pick up the Tempo.”

* Gary Clark Jr. giving a guitar clinic and sharing the spotlight with Raphael on “Texas Flood,” which he dedicated to both Willie and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

* Bob Weir singing - really singing his heart out - “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” while Strings, who looked as if he might shit himself with glee, played Willie’s parts on acoustic guitar.

* Jamey Johnson proving himself an incredible crooner on “Georgia on My Mind” while Haynes chipped in slide guitar as only he plays it.

* Neil Young, Stephen Stills and all three Nelson boys giving an emphatic affirmative to Young’s musical question: “Are there Any More Real Cowboys.”

* Snoop Dogg, with a gold mic and an unlit blunt in his hands, joining Willie for “Roll Me up and Smoke Me When I Die.”

* Willie’s strongest vocal performance, alongside Keith Richards - who sang better than he has in ages - on “We Had it All.” Bonus: Richards’ eye makeup was a gas, gas, gas.

The thing ended with every performer on stage for “On the Road Again” followed by everyone singing “Happy Birthday to You” with Willie singing along and emphasizing the word, ME.

There’s such a thing as too much and “Long Story Short” - a misnomer of the highest degree - has it. But with such a diverse guest list that spans generations and genres, it’s unlikely anyone other than the number-loving Willie Nelson himself would enjoy every number. And if Willie had a happy 90th, then it’s OK to spend an hour more than necessary in a theater to celebrate in his honor.

But it’ll be even better at home, with a real 4:20 break and a remote control equipped with a fast-forward button.
