Song Reader

Singer-songwriter Beck has been sharing his musical genius with the world for the past 25 years, when he recorded a cassette called Banjo Story back in 1988, and releasing his first studio album, Golden Feelings, in 1993. Even if you've never heard his name, you have heard his music, especially Loser.

Beck Hanson was born 8 July 1970 in LA. His grandfather was artist Al Hanson, his parents are Canadian composer David Campbell and musician Bibbe Hanson, and his brother is artist Channing Hanson. As you can see, he comes from a very talented family, so it's no surprising that he is so full talent.

On 11 December 2012, Beck released his latest album, Song Reader, which he had been working on since 2004, Unlike a traditional album, where the artist writes then records the album, Song Reader is a book of sheet music. If you want to hear the songs, you have to perform them yourself. Or go on YouTube and see other people performing their takes on the songs.

Beck has set up a website for artists to upload their versions of the songs on the album.

Here is pianist Hanna Silver performing The Last Polka from the album. In the video, she discusses the album and even holds up her copy.

  2. When I originally left a comment I appear
    to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment.
    Perhaps there is an easy method you can remove me from that service?
    Thanks a lot!

    1. I don't know anything about that. That's a Blogger issue. I just run the blog. I'm sure there might be a button to unsubscribe from notifications.

  3. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I
    think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the
    hang of it!
