Beck- Nick Drake Covers

I've been a Nick Drake fan for quite a while now, and over the years I've heard some really pitiful attempts to cover his songs. In all reality, I should know better than to expect anything close to Drake because he had such a unique approach and style to his music, but I've always kept an ear open for any covers that could do him justice. Well, Beck covered a few songs from Drake's last album Pink Moon that gave me chills up and down my spine the first time I heard them. Beck doesn't try to copy Drake's versions, but instead gives them a feel all his own while still keeping the mood of the songs. They are after all, somber songs, but yet somehow beautiful at the same time. Beck's tribute confirms the feelings that Drake's legacy will never be forgotten, no matter how short his career was.

Forget Marie

Beck.com has his version of the late Lee Hazlewood's Forget Marie streaming this week, in memory of Lee's passing. I think the original is amazing, but when I heard Beck's version, I was really blown away with how great his voice sounded with this song. Beck has also done some great covers of one of my favorite singers, Nick Drake. I'll try to post those later next week, because they are equally as good as this song. Here are the two versions of Forget Marie, Lee's original and Beck's cover.
