Who Else! is the seventh studio album by guitarist
Jeff Beck, released on 16 March 1999 through
Epic Records.[2] The album reached No. 99 on the U.S.
Billboard 200[4] and marks the end of a decade-long absence of original material from Beck since the release of Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop in 1989. Stylistically it showcases the first addition of
electronic and
techno music into his repertoire, along with the
blues-based
instrumental rock and
jazz fusion of previous albums.
Fellow guitarist
Jennifer Batten, having often cited Beck's influence on her playing,[5][6] is featured as a collaborator and subsequently joined him on tour for three years.[7] The album features the collaborative songwriting of
Tony Hymas. "Brush with the Blues" became a signature tune and concert staple, and along with "Angel (Footsteps)" made it onto his 2008 concert album Live at Ronnie Scott's. "What Mama Said" samples
Dick Shawn's dialogue from the 1963 film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World[8]
