Eight Gigs: Jeff Beck

Guitarist Jeff Beck is touring with a new album dubbed Loud Hailer that comes after a six-year wait. As luck would have it, Beck is focused as ever, with songs such as “The Revolution Will Be Televised” and “Thugs Club” being the album’s standout tracks. Also on the bill is veteran bluesman Buddy Guy, who continues to move mountains at the ripe, young age of 80. Expect a lot of back-and-forth soloing and of course, some golden nuggets from each of the aforementioned ax-slinger’s catalog. Further proof you don’t need to play fast to sonically chop your audience’s heads off. 12222 New York Ranch Road in Jackson, www.jeffbeck.com.
