MORNING DEW (1968) by the Jeff Beck Group (extensive slideshow video)
Morning Dew was off the 1968 'Truth' album by the Jeff Beck Group featuring Jeff Beck (guitars), Rod Stewart (vocals), Ron Wood (bass) and Mickey Waller (drums). Nicky Hopkins played piano on this track and also Blues Deluxe from the same album.
Morning Dew is a post-apocalyptic folk-rock song written by Canadian singer Bonnie Dobson in 1962. According to Dobson in a 1993 interview, Morning Dew was inspired by the film On the Beach. Fred Neil heard Dobson's song and re-arranged it to suit his own style. Tim Rose heard Neil's version and then recorded his own in 1966, adding himself as co-writer. Through a loophole in US copyright law, Rose was able to claim royalties. Dobson has consistently questioned Rose's right to a co-writing credit. (Summarised from Wiki).
I have put together the most complete slideshow video I could of the Jeff Beck group, including some photos with Aynsley Dunbar on drums, although he did not play on this track.
See also my slideshow videos of Beck's Bolero and Rock My Plimsoul also from the Truth album.
