Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Stripped of the intoxicating production that dominated 'Mellow Gold', songs here prove to be wonderful, vibrant tunes, teeming with emotion, haunting wordplay and simple, memorable melodies. K Records.
Amazon.com:
Before "Loser" skyrocketed him into the pop-star stratosphere, Beck recorded this album of lo-fi tunes and ballads in the basement of K Records founder Calvin Johnson. This largely acoustic LP is a snapshot of the troubadour life Beck led when he was more likely to be found Dumpster-diving than predicting the Zeitgeist. The backwoods folk of "He's a Mighty Good Leader" and Delta blues of "Fourteen Rivers Fourteen Floods" shows past intent study of American traditional music, whereas the cynical critique of California culture voiced in "Cyanide Breath Mint" highlights the lyrical agility of a postpunk poet. In a tribute to the virtues of this album's simplicity, rocker Tom Petty covered "Asshole" with remarkable restraint, leaving the pleasures of the three-chord lament intact. As Beck morphs his way into the cultural landscape, this record lets us know that at least he has roots somewhere. --Lois Maffeo

So what was he thinking? After his mega hit album Mellow Gold, he drifts away from the major record labels and puts together this collection of home recordings, joining an elite group of home recording artist such as Lou Barlow, Rick White, and most recently, Sam Beam.
I grew up (a 90's child) listening to this album. Actually I had avoided buying it for a long time fearing it would just bring back too many memories of when life was good, easy, and friends were made based on brotherhood ... Read More

Any person (luckily, I have now joined the ranks of said people) who gets their hands on this fantastic record should thank the stars. This is majestic, beautiful pop with happy, acoustic melodies and care-free lyrics. Highlights include "He's A Mighty Good Leader," a cover of traditional folk, "Sleeping Bag," a whimsical blues number, "See Water," slightly similar to Nirvana in some aspects, "I Have Seen The Land Beyond," a tale of a new world, "Girl Dreams," a song with the simple chorus "You're just ...

This is probably my favorite album from Beck. Sure it came out almost 13 years ago. I enjoyed the simple, yet colorful arrangments of the songs. It features many slower acoustic tracks that are more akin to blues and folk music than this techno-folk rock that he seems to put out these days. It also has a few driving electric songs that sound like they just put a mic in the room and went at it. Track seven is a haunting, loud distortion laden track that would fit in any 70's b rated horror movies. ... Read More

Why does Amazon have the song 'Hollow Log' misspelled as 'Hollow Leg?' Is this music simply inferior recycling of great music that can be found on old 78's? Why do I love this ludicrous attempt at faux-amateur, lo-fi, blues/folk so much? Is this cd out of print? Why???!!!!
Whatever. Thanks to this cd, I have tuned my parlor-size guitar down one and a half steps and am now letting the strings buzz against the frets. Now, if I can just get my hands on a four-track tape recorder, I may finally ... Read More

One of the greatest albums I've ever heard. The folky overtones of this record are one of the most refreshing things to come out of modern music (1994.) At the height of the grung-ridden-teenage-angst-alternative-noise era this album is entirely accoustic with the acception of "Burnt Orange Peel" (a hard-hitting electric with great lyrics and a vocal track of Beck just making sounds) and "Ziplock Bag" (a piercing intro but keep listening and it lightens up.) Definately a great album, don't just look past, ... Read More
