As I lay on the couch tonight listening to American Routes, the baby asleep, the lights off, the fan blowing gently, and my body spent from a day in the 85 degree Arizona sun, Cookie & the Cupcakes’ “Sea of Love” piped softly over the speakers above me…. what followed was right in the same vein: a dream-inducing, gentle melody that I first thought to be from the late ’60’s / early ’70’s. But then it hit me, the voice I was hearing was Beck. I came to find out that the song, “We Live Again”, is on his 1999 ‘Mutations’ release, one of the few Beck releases I don’t own, and will soon remedy.

Buy Beck’s Stuff for crying out loud.
