OLD SCHOOL SINGLE Lost Women THE YARDBIRDS (1966)

Jeff Beck ignites his new band but loses “the only woman who was my kind.”

Blues rock, psychedelic power chords, a deep appreciation of Indian music, those are some of the things the second guitar legend to join the Yardbirds brought to the group.  With Eric Clapton gone, Jeff Beck was free to pull the band into new sonic territories, blasting through anything that might have been linked to a comfort zone. 

Here’s a song from 1966 that sounds like it could have been recorded in the last couple of years, because there is a very familiar lick that got borrowed by the band Jet.  From the 1966 release Roger the Engineer, the Yardbirds and “Lost Woman”.🦹🏻‍♀️

Most famous LOST WOMAN of 1937

Don't know where to run to
Don't know where to hide
See my future coming
Like the rising of the tide
But I lost you
Lost you woman
The only woman
Woman who was my kind

Made me lose my money
You made me lose my mind
It's people like you, baby
Don't you rule mankind
But I lost you
Lost you woman
The only woman

Woman who was my kind

But if you come back
I won't be the same
What you did to me
You can hardly call humane
But I lost you
But I still love you
The only woman
Woman who was my kind
