Who's the punkest guitar-hero around? It's Jeff Beck! Punk in spirit, obviously. As in, "I do what I want, when I want!" At the heart of the Yardbirds, who also welcomed Jimmy Page and Robert Plant into their fold, Beck's the one who makes the strings bleed, or rips them off entirely, like in the famous scene from Antonioni's cult film, Blow Up. When he was expected to go rock, he went jazz-rock. When a voice interested him (Rod "the Mod" Stewart's, for instance) he made a carnal fusion with it. And if, out of nowhere, he felt he wanted to remind the world who his idol was (Cliff Gallup, guitarist from Gene Vincent), he'd just make a tribute album, like he did with the delicious Crazy Legs in 1993.

"Even if I had to do the cover of a magazine like Guitar World 400 times, I'm not that kind of guy! I'm not of that world!" It's good to know that nothing is for free in this eclectic disque, which alternates between blues, funk rock, electro metal, jazz rock and pure soul. Loud Hailer proves that Jeff Beck thinks about the music before he thinks about the guitar. And that's probably what distinguishes him from everybody else.

In the autobiography Beck 01, John McLaghlin begins the preface by stating: "Jeff Beck is my all time favourite guitarist. Now what can I say?" Nothing. Just listen to Loud Hailer.
