VA - Beck Song Reader (2014)

Twenty Beck compositions previously released exclusively as stunningly illustrated sheet music have come to life with the help of Norah Jones, Jack White, Laura Marling, Jarvis Cocker, Jack Black and of course 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.
