Beck Covers 'I'm Waiting For The Man' By The Velvet Underground

We've seen a flurry of activity from US alt-pop superstar Beck recently, he dropped his new album Colors late last year, is heading our way for Auckland City Limits 2018, released a cute new video last week, and has now shared a cover of The Velvet Underground's classic 'I'm Waiting For The Man'. Beck puts a sunny spin on Lou Reed's ode to drug abuse, his breezy delivery emphasising the colourful details of Reed's street-level lyrics. It's a smooth sailing, motorik contrast to Beck's previous noisy and discordant 2010 cover of the same tune, compare for yourself by checking out both versions below...
