Norah Jones

Beck Song Reader

In 2012 Beck released Song Reader, an album of only sheet music with the hope that musicians would perform and record their own interpretations of his songs.

We now have a recording of these 20 songs from the likes of Tweedy, Norah Jones, Lord Huron, Jack White, Laura Marling, Jarvis Cocker, David Johansen, Eleanor Friedberger, Sparks, Jack Black, and Beck himself.

Listen here to Laura Marling singing “Sorry” followed by Jarvis Cocker’s contribution “Eyes That Say ‘I Love You’”.

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi featuring Jack White

Danger Mouse, producer and musician extraordinaire (The Grey Album, Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, Beck, Broken Bells) has collaborated with Daniele Luppi, an Italian film composer.

Ensconced in a recording studio in Rome used for classic Italian films of the 60s and 70s and reassembling vintage recording equipment and musicians from the era, the two recorded songs live and straight to tape with no computers and 21st century effects and trickery.

Enlisting the vocals of Jack White and Norah Jones, the album Rome was born.
