Most folks who know Jeff Beck's name know him as a guitar God-a two-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who over the past five decades has placed at the top of any list concerning influential rock and roll guitarists. But rodders know him for another talent: since the '60s he's built his own hot rods (mostly '32s and '34s), from chopping them to building the motors, and he does it all himself. But his latest effort involves his first studio album in 7 years, the just-released Emotion & Commotion on Atco Records. Recording it with the help of a 64-piece orchestra, the music is a departure from the in-your-face aggression found on some of his earlier albums. Perfect for someone wanting a soundtrack for a long summer-night cruise, Emotion & Commotion delivers 10 ethereal tracks.

Jeff at his "night job," though he'd probably rather be at home wrenching on one of his '32 or '34 Fords.
