JEFF BECK And JOHNNY DEPP Team Up For Cover of JOHN LENNON's 'Isolation'
Legendary guitarist and two-time Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Jeff Beck, one of the great collaborators in music history, has once again found an unexpected co-conspirator in Johnny Depp. The musical soulmates have been working behind-the-scenes for the past few several years on new music and have released their first single as a duo today, a re-imagining of John Lennon's classic track "Isolation", which is available now on all streaming and digital download services from Atco/Rhino Records.
"Isolation" finds Beck in classic form on guitar with Depp on vocals, joined by longtime Beck collaborators Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and Rhonda Smith on bass. The band first performed the track live at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival last September in Texas.
"Johnny and I have been working on music together for a while now and we recorded this track during our time in the studio last year," Jeff says. "We weren't expecting to release it so soon but given all the hard days and true 'isolation' that people are going through in these challenging times, we decided now might be the right time to let you all hear it. You'll be hearing more from Johnny and me in a little while but until then we hope you find some comfort and solidarity in our take on this Lennon classic."
Depp adds: "Jeff Beck and I recorded this song 'Isolation' last year, as our take on a beautiful John Lennon tune. Lennon's poetry — 'We're afraid of everyone. Afraid of the Sun!' — seemed to Jeff and me especially profound right now, this song about isolation, fear, and existential risks to our world. So we wanted to give it to you, and hope it helps you make sense of the moment or just helps you pass the time as we endure isolation together."
Beck is universally acknowledged as one of the most talented and significant guitarists in the world and has played alongside some of the greatest artists of rock, blues, and jazz. Over the course of his distinguished 50-plus-year music career, he has earned an incredible eight Grammy Awards, been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," and been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame twice — once as a member of THE YARDBIRDS and again as a solo artist. In the summer of 2016, the guitar virtuoso celebrated his five decades of music with an extraordinary concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl.
Depp has amassed quite the musical resume of his own, playing in the HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES supergroup with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry for the last five years. He's also collaborated with a wide variety of musical artists over the last several decades from OASIS to MARILYN MANSON to STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, just to name a few.

Ничего подобного.
Гитара классная, вокал в норме, но менее всего этой песне нужна виртуозность, а более всего правильные эмоции, которых в избытке у Джона и минимум у этого дуэта.
Что неудача не скажу, но совсем не та эстетика.
