Beck: Song Reader 2XLP

Album Details

The now legendary Song Reader - 20 Beck compositions previously released exclusively as stunningly illustrated sheet music in partnership with McSweeney’s - will receive a long awaited traditional release, when Warby Parker/Capitol Records issues the album, produced by Beck and Randall Poster, known for his music supervision work with directors Wes Anderson, Martin Scorsese, Sam Mendes and many others. The 20-track all-star collection features exclusively recorded versions of Song Reader charts by the likes of Jack White, Jeff Tweedy, David Johansen, Norah Jones, Jarvis Cocker, Jason Isbell, Laura Marling, Bob Forest, Fun., Eleanor Friedberger, Swamp Dogg, Loudon WainwrightII and several more including Beck himself. The Warby Parker release of Beck: Song Reader marks the first officially recorded incarnation of the project, which has already inspired interpretations from hundreds of musicians the world over. The record includes the studio-quality debut of songs previously only played live either by Beck himself or at one of the handful of Song Reader concerts staged over the last two years.
