New album artwork

At the age of 91 Texas-born country star WILLIE NELSON is still
doing what he did since he was 23, recording/releasing records.

His 76th (!!!) solo album (his 153rd overall, including collaborations,
soundtracks, and compilations), titled Last Leaf On The Tree comes
out next Friday on November 1st.

One of the tracks is Nelson‘s majestic cover of Beck‘s gripping 2002 ballad
LOST CAUSE (from his Sea Of Change album). His characteristically warm
country voice still enchants.

Post-Breakup Album – BECK Released ‘SEACHANGE’ 20 Years Ago

Back in time

25 September 2022

Artist: BECK
Born Bek David Campbell 52 years ago
Active: Since 1988 / 14 studio LPs (so far)

Anniversary album: SEACHANGE – his 8th LP
Released: 24 September 2002 – 20 years ago

Rolling Stone said: “It’s the best album Beck has ever made, and it sounds like he’s paid dearly for the achievement. He reportedly wrote these twelve wine-dark songs after breaking up with his longtime girlfriend… The Nick Drake and Syd Barrett comparisons are not idle flattery. Just as Mutations was Beck’s homage to Tropicalia — Brazil’s late-1960s revolution in art, sound and romanticism — Sea Change suggests that Beck has been studying the British early-1970s school of psychedelic-comedown melancholy… As a young folk singer at the turn of the Nineties, Beck set out to be his own Dylan. With Sea Change, he has made it the hard way, creating an impeccable album of truth and light from the end of love. This is his Blood on the Tracks.” Score: 5/5.
