Beck also did a great cover of John Martyn's "Stormbringer".

Great album ! I sure hope BecK continues churning out great music well into the future , I'm like a kid in a candystore getting lost ...

A good cover. Ya gotta respect anyone who honors an original with a cover unless its completely destroyed, which it is not here. I love Drake's stuff. What a freakin loss he was. If he could have only held on just a little longer until his work got the respect it always deserved. Very Van Gogh like in that respect. Check out the cover of this song by plectrum34 on this site. Mindblowing.

Of course I prefer the original but this is a fantastic cover.

Very interesting version. The chords behind the part "take a look you may see me..." weren't what I was hoping for, but everything came together nicely.

It's kinda cool listening to Beck singing without that whole gruely sound in his voice. Awesome cover.

i love his voice its so... cool.

Wow, great cover and a great tribute to an even greater artist. Sounds like beck is slowing the speed on his vocals as the song progresses, not sure about that....thoughts anyone?

It was because of Beck I got into areas of music I wouldn't have considered beforehand. This artist is one of them.

I'm not really sure how any fan of Nick Drake could come here and say that this cover sucks, or it "wasn't good enough." Come on, you don't have to be a fan of Beck to realize that this cover was a labor of love! It's obvious in every sense of the word that in covering Parasite (a very underrated song to begin with), Beck was doing his damnedest here to honor the painfully short life and work of Nick Drake! As someone who likes maybe 8 of Beck's originals, total, doesn't matter. This was good.

while it may not differ from the original that much, his covers of Nick Drake sound so natural that if I didn't know any better I would think they were his own songs. Nick Drake is amazing. Beck is amazing. Plain and simple. And for those who complain about Beck's version not sounding different enough, would you originally want him to do it much different?

I think this is a really strong cover! I don't prefer it to the original, but i don't really think it's worse, either. It has a different voicing, and a different feel to it, overall. Much better than his Pink Moon cover, which i'm not really a fan of. Love Beck and Nick Drake though

beautiful, beck is the best

dheyo

not one of his best covers but still worth a listen cos its beck

DreathDragont

not bad at all. Doesn't exactly create a name for itself but it doesn't bash the songs either. I personally of course like Drake's version better.

Mark Gram

Not bad. It just doesn't convey the feeling of the original...or for that matter, the cover done by plectrum34...which is outstanding.
