Jeff Beck’s first album in six years, Loud Hailer, is another name for a megaphone and a suitable moniker for an album that isn’t shy about speaking its mind. The legendary guitarist combines fluid fretwork with topical lyrics to make a powerful statement about everything from the love of power, to the power of love. Beck enlisted two fierce young females, singer Rosie Bones and guitarist Carmen Vandenberg, in the creative process. The album is rounded out by two signature Beck instrumentals in “Pull It” and “Edna.”
