Truth, released in 1968, is the debut album from the Jeff Beck Group. The album is comprised of the hard rock blues for which the group would become famous, but it is also notable for it’s eclectic mix of song choices, including the 1927 Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein standard ‘Ol’ Man River’ and the Tudor folk song ‘Greensleeves’.
Featuring Ronnie Wood on bass, Rod Stewart on vocals, former Bluesbreaker Micky Waller on drums and Beck on guitar – not to mention some very famous guest artists including Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Aynsley Dunbar and Keith Moon – the album is widely hailed as having introduced a new blues lexicon to rock and roll music.
