We here at Riffs on Riffs, love a good musical rags to riches story. And this one comes from Beck Hansen, better known as “Beck,” who went from couch-surfing and playing street corners, in subway cars, and coffee-houses, to becoming a household name in the early 90’s. He’s easily one of the most eclectic and ambitious singer-songwriters of the past two decades with his experimental style, and became known for creating musical collages of wide genre mixing. Joe & Toby dive into one of Beck’s hits, “Jack-Ass” (1996), and trace it back to a more unknown song, “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” (1966).
