Beck-Ola (Cosa Nostra)

Beck Ola (Cosa Nostra) was the second full-length long player by Jeff Beck and his backing group. Released just before the group's disbanding, it famously boasted that it wasn't anything original, but is nonetheless a fine example of British blues-rock. Featuring five originals by various pairings of band members (with two radically reworked numbers originally done by Elvis Presley filling out the remainder), it closed the second chapter of Beck's career as a musician (the first being the days before his solo career began).

Nicky Hopkins, who had been a sideman on Truth was promoted to a full band member for the album.
