Beck - Bad Blood - Non-Album Tracks (2009-2010)

In 2008, Beck put out the album "Modern Guilt." His next album after that was "Morning Phase." That's a gap of six years! That's remarkable, considering how prolific Beck has been in his career. He certainly didn't stop recording songs and playing concerts. It's as if he just lost interest in putting albums together. But I'll try to fill that six-year-gap with what's publicly available. This stray tracks album covers just 2009 and 2010.

One thing Beck did do during this time period was get together with a bunch of his musical friends and record covers of every single song from certain classic albums, doing each album in a single day. I'm only including a small number of songs from these albums. Many of the songs primarily feature Beck's friends instead of him (including on lead vocals). And these covers are often very experimental (such as a rap version of the folky Leonard Cohen song "Master's Song," which I've included here). But I'm not including the experiments that didn't work so well.

Six of the 13 songs here come from these album cover projects, which generally were released only on the Internet with next to no promotion. The rest of the songs come from a wide variety of sources and are mostly originals, though the first song is a Bob Dylan cover.

I made "Paradisco" merely a bonus track due to sound quality issues.
