2009, Interscope
For the fifteenth anniversary of the original release of One Foot In The Grave, this new edition contains sixteen bonus cuts, thirteen of which have never been released anywhere before!
"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 Calivin Johnson's occasional harmonies lend the record an intimate warmth. It's a gentle record, and its collection of small gems are every bit as impressive as the songs on Mellow Gold or its 11996 follow-up, Odelay." - All Music Guide
