nalafej Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Tweedy contributes "The Wolf is on the Hill" to album. http://thefutureheart.com/2014/06/30/song-reader-cd/ Back in 2012, Beck returned from a lengthy hiatus with Song Reader, an album composed entirely of sheet music that could only be heard through performance. Since then, Beck has staged three different concerts, where he and a cavalcade of special guests performed the material live. Now, he’s finally ready to offer a companion album of recorded music, and he’s once more enlisted the help of some big-name talent.As Future Heart points out, Song Reader will feature tracks from Jack White, Jeff Tweedy, Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, Laura Marling, and Eleanor Friedberger, as well as Beck himself. And in a fun twist, actor/musician Jack Black also contributed to the project, marking what’s surely the first time Jack White and Jack Black appear on the same record.Below, check out the full tracklist (via Direct Current) along with a fan-shot video of Beck performing his contribution, “Heaven’s Ladder”, live in concert.Song Reader arrives officially on July 29th Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cold as Gasoline Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 JamBase has the full track listing and who's doing what song. Jason Isbell's in there too! Should be really interesting. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/122135/Beck-Song-Reader-Album-To-Feature-All-Star-Cast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sounds like a bonus track for Sukierae to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Really kinda wished this stuff stayed unrecorded. Kinda lost the magic and its purpose. At least it is not just all Beck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
