DATE OF RELEASE: 23 JUL 2026
Pre-order the unexplored story of rock’s greatest and perhaps most enigmatic instrumentalist.
With his shag haircut and white Stratocaster guitar, Jeff Beck was an icon known and loved by millions. Yet somehow, he maintained the ineffable low profile cool of a cult hero as he glided through six decades of musical trends with nary a lapse in taste. Not to say he ever played it safe.
What other guitarist can lay claim to performing with opera star Luciano Pavarotti, mainstream television personality Kelly Clarkson, and professional degenerates like Guns N' Roses with equal grace and wit? As Beck himself once quipped, “I'm an awkward son of a bitch when it comes to doing the expected.”From the authors of the critically acclaimed oral history on Eddie Van Halen, Eruption, Blow by Blow is a revealing narrative of this legend of guitar, featuring brand new interviews with the icon himself as well as his famous colleagues, collaborators, and loved ones.
