Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
When I woke up this morning
Didn't know right or wrong
Well, if the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
If the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
Well, I would dive to the bottom
I'd swear, I'd never come up

Well, I coulda had religion
In this bad old Sunday
I coulda had religion
In this bad old Sunday
But whiskey and bad love
Wouldn't let me have my way

I rolled and I tumbled
And I rolled and I tumbled
I rolled and I tumbled

Jeff is the greatest guitarist in history. Right, Jimi?

He just did not handle his career in a way that allowed his prowess to get the recognition it deserved in his lifetime. Maybe now…

I bought this album, and then found the DVD/Blu Ray of the Ronnie Scotts gigs. The live version of this track is just awesome. Imogen does one of her own compositions, "Blanket" first, then "Rollin' & Tumblin' ".

The guitarists guitarist. No one can rip your face off and make you cry at the same time with their playing. Saw him 5 times in London. Sad that he’s horn.
Check out “ The Keys To The Highway” with a certain BBKing.

There is some astoundingly inventive playing here.  Jeff Beck was sui generis, and I miss his humble brilliance.

Your right, Bill-your 70s are a gift!  We make the most of those here in Kentucky by listening and dancing to Radio Paradise!  And loving Jeff Beck!

Sometimes it's good to remind myself of how stupid I can be. How the hell did I rate this a 1, when it's clearly a solid 8!

This is actually Imogen Heap (with Jeff Beck) and just the most amazing rendering of this classic song.

Heap is a great modern mistress of sampling and mastering. She's been doing livestreams of her sampling work, which are super fun to watch.

Holy cow - Satriani, Trower, then Beck .  Work has stopped.

And listening to them in  row, I think the order is right, with Beck on top. His tone, feel, and playfulness are not equaled.

I need to explore Imogen Heap further - introduced to her years ago through her quirky electronica, and her 'Toadlickers' collaboration with Thomas Dolby is both foot stompin good and lyrically hilarious. This is a good rip all 'round. Versatile lass.

Saw him at Wolf Trap last August. The concert concluded and the audience rose from their seats to leave. The guy next to me tells his date "You have been to church".

I saw her just before Christmas  supporting Josh Groban.  Just her and a piano.  I thought her set was dreadful, not using her tech talents at all.  I think the audience wondered what was going on.  She even forgot the lyrics at one point.

I thought this was Joan Osborne. But no, survey says Imogene Heap. I'm surprised, but in a good way.  Beck rules.

I believe the drums and bass on this album are programmed.  The whole thing stops you in your tracks and the only place I have heard it broadcast, like so much else here, is Radio Paradise.  But marvellous though the album is I find the chops and fills too intense, once a month or so is about right.
