Musician

Beck

Born:

On his first DGC album, 1994's Mellow Gold, Beck demonstrated his ingenious ability to mix old and new styles with ease. The result was music that on one hand sounded familiar, yet surprised at every turn. On Odelay, Beck has further mutated his approach, taking it to a higher level. The first cut on Odelay, "Devil's Haircut," sports a guitar riff reminiscent of Terry and the Pirates' "I Can Only Give You Everything" and features Beck's stream-of-consciousness lyrical flow. The title of the first single, "Where It's At," is a skewed reference to the John Lee Hooker album That's Where It's At

Read "Uncommon Measures" reviewed by Mike Jacobs

by Mike Jacobs

If there's a major takeaway to be had from listening to guitarist Lyle Workman's Uncommon Measures, it's the palpable sense that all of his impressive musical experience has been poured into it. And to that end, Workman certainly doesn't bury the lead. The epic opening track “North Star" can single-handedly make sense of Workman's entire decades-long ...
