Yardbirds 'Train Kept A Rollin' (BBC Session)





















Yardbirds 'Train Kept A Rollin' (BBC Session)

The Yardbirds were responsible for launching the careers of three of the greatest rock guitarists ever in the shape of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. This track comes from the December 1965 BBC sessions during Jeff Beck's tenure as resident axe man. The juxtaposition of the suit from the BBC's rod-up-his-arse introduction and that knuckle-whitening fuzz and distortion is an entertaining bonus. Like a local parish priest introducing a chainsaw sculpting competition.
