New tour and album on the horizon for Jeff Beck


1-16-01 Press Release

In February 2001, Epic recording artist Jeff Beck�one of the greatest guitarists in rock and roll history�will release a brand-new studio album, You Had It Coming, and bring his new music to the stage on a headlining U.S. tour. In stores February 6, You Had It Coming is the successor to Who Else! �Jeff Beck�s Grammy-nominated album of 1999�and another stunning fusion of pure rock guitar and contemporary electronica. The ten tracks comprising You Had It Coming include seven new songs co-written by Jeff plus �Earthquake� by Jennifer Batten, second guitarist in his stage band; and �Nadia,� composed by Nitin Sawhney (whom Beck calls �a genius - like an Asian Stevie Wonder�). You Had It Coming was created by Jeff Beck, Aiden Love, and Andy Wright, and produced by Andy Wright. Andy�s expert production and programming has been heard on recordings by Massive Attack, Bon Jovi, Natalie Imbruglia, and Simply Red. The voice of Imogen Heap is heard on two tracks, �Dirty Mind� and the Muddy Waters classic �Rollin� and Tumblin�.�

Jeff Beck�s 2001 U.S. tour begins February 15 in Seattle, WA and concludes with two performances, March 22-23, at New York�s Roseland Ballroom. For the upcoming tour, the Jeff Beck band will include Jennifer Batten (guitar), Randy Hope-Taylor (bass), and Andy Gangadeen (drums).
