More Info:

Recorded before MELLOW GOLD, ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE showcases Beck as a postmodern folkie, and the results are revelatory. Stripped of the intoxicating production that dominated MELLOW GOLD, Beck's songs prove to be wonderful, vibrant tunes, teeming with emotion, haunting wordplay, and simple, memorable melodies. It's alternately haunting and jubilant, and Calvin Johnsons occasional harmonies lend the record an intimate warmth. It's a gentle record, and it's collection of small gems are every bit as impressive as the songs on MELLOW GOLD or it's 1996 follow-up, ODELAY.
