‘All Kinds Of Beki’ admirably lives up to its name. It’s a wide-ranging showcase for a singer-songwriter and session guitarist who has built her reputation by playing with some of the biggest names in contemporary blues and roots rock music.

The song Possessive Emotions by John Mayall is about the struggle with jealousy in a relationship. The lyrics express the singer’s desire to be with their partner all the time and not wanting them to be with anyone else.
