Beck’s One Foot In The Grave Reissue: A Deeper Look

When we reported on Beck’s plans to reissue 1994’s One Foot in the Grave on April 14, we didn’t have a confirmed tracklist. Well, the future has arrived, and the tracklist is below. The album will be reissued on Beck’s own label, Iliad.

Also, we forgot to mention that none other than Johnny Cash and Tom Petty were/are big fans of this album. Petty covered “Asshole” for 1996’s She’s The One soundtrack, and Cash lent his trademark pipes to “Rowboat” on 2002’s Unchained. Audio evidence of Cash taking the song to its logical conclusion is below.

  1. “Rowboat” appears on the earlier and even more obscure Stereopathetic Soulmanure.

    And I wouldn’t assume Cash was a fan of either album. I’m pretty sure Rick Rubin introduced “Rowboat” to him.

    I have no idea about Petty.
