Beck - Magnolia

[coolanddark]

Oh here it is! Been looking for this for 10 years! Thanks youtube! Getting a hard on just listening now! wow!

[Imyourcounciousness]

sucks

[gsasko]

Makes me think of my baby...

[ronineko]

Why all this comparing and bickering? JJ Cale wrote and recorded an incredible song and some other artists loved it so much they just had to play it. Instead of passing all this judgement.....get a guitar out and give it a go. Then post it.

Put your money......etc. etc.

[ronineko]

@hammeron39 I'm an old musician/rec engineer myself (with almost every DAW and plugin known) and, still, the default of MY soul is an acoustic guitar and a moment in time.

[ronineko]

@hammeron39 I'm in San Jose, CA Do you ever collaborate musically?

[hammeron39]

@ronineko yes I do , Im working on what I call a easy rider revue , with choice Beck songs weaving thru the original materials , got a bar in carlbad nm , next month , then a weekend in a tourist town of ruidoso nm, stuff like this , m

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Rubbish version

Play or on your bedroom only init

[12dorigirl]

Almost as good as JJ.... and that's sayin' a lot.... cause I think nobody does it like JJ does it!!!

Enjoyed~

[Chookie369]

Just stumbled across this song by mistake. LOVE IT! <3

[Prometheus1st]

Any time I watch Beck...even on his videos...he comes across as raw emotion. Even when his videos are accompanied by massive production like "Hell Yeah"...the effect I am left with leaves me feeling I have connected with him on an issue he feels.

I know that sounds preposterous but that's my opinion.

[AndyMayBee]

Beck lost it, he's making this beautiful JJ tune banal.

[Johnmathewave]

fuck you @cooleemee43 BECK IS MUSIC'S GOD !!!

[chrlntbrghn]

absolutely nothing compared to JJ Cale

[randypipper92]

great cover but I preffer Poco's version

[bintanggg]

Needs to eat some gravel before he can even get close to JJ Cale!!!!! Not bad effort tho

[JulesElway07]

Awesome job on an awesome song!

[djdj42]

love beck's voice, miiss him

[Mlleblueraincoat]

simple but beautiful

and somehow peaceful...

[heartshapednirvana]

In my opinion, loser was his best song. It just really went w/ the whole 90's MTV theme & the other music at that time.

[osamimi100]

awsome

[osamimi100]

awsome



[Jane9443]

Singing/guitar playing Lush xxx

[dimisbeach]

adorable guy !!!!

[dimisbeach]

isn't he lovely , a? singer, guitar player and handsome guy!!

[salzlette1000]

wow...

[wharfdaddy]

I'm getting old, the only thing I know about Beck is that he ain't Jeff Beck...Now I know that he choose to cover my favorite all time love song so he has good taste...there is hope for the world.

[hemet92544]

this is ACL no? is this show on DVD? can't find it

[blacktopaz8]

I like Beck but he kinda sounds the same in every song now. And this is a shitty cover

[barrylee55]

anyone that tries to introduce great music to the uninitited is ok in my book. He obviously has reverence for thesong and JJ Cale. POCO's live version on TUBE is amazing as well. Cant people listen, appreciate and shut up? There are too many critics and not enough musicians in the world...do the world a favor ...shoot a critic today :).

[hammeron39]

@barrylee55 couldnt of said it better , . . . listening in my garage as usual in Roswell New Mexico nov4th 2011 building a masterpiece , now in its 56 month of building , lol , really ., a old school streetrod builder russell bradford banks on fb

[degree7]

Beck the hack.

[erwmlw]

He does a great job of this, i don't know about some of you people is it really that hard to compliment someone!

[usf123456789]

@degree7 eat a dick.

[degree7]

@usf123456789

Eat your heart out.

[ajsparkie]

oh beck, perfectly ruined a good song!!!

[SemiToneBlew]

It sounds like lost cause, is it a demo or something? anyways it's an amazing song

[MagnoliaLatinPer]

lovely song...my name is Magnolia..i realy enjoyed it

[SuttonSantiniPaulo]

Love this version. Can't believe he's a scion though. Pity.

[BossyChick]

How can a man so tiny have a voice that is so deep?

Anyhow, I love you Beck, you are the sexiest man.

[CMob09]

This guys almost religous !

[daniellekillerqueen]

I like JJ better

[magnoliamtz]

my song..my name

[TheThroney]

yeah! liven things up a bit LOL

[ewok82]

Isn't Elisabeth Shue that girl in a brown jacket between 2:55 and 2:58 at the left??

[mistydreamz]

omg 3:04 is too cute for words!!!!!

[Dries2006]

Haha, true!

[WalkingEyeTV]

he's great on acoustic

[andyinoregon]

Agree. If there's such a thing as a definitive version of this J. J. Cale classic it's Poco's live performance at their 2004 Reunion Concert in Nashville. Paul Cotton will make you cry tears of joy.

[dfalconer33]

I'm surprised nobody has recommended Poco's version of "Magnolia" with Paul Cotton on vocals and Rusty Young on steel. Soaring beautiful harmonies from these guys. No one does it better!! Check it out on youtube.

[popnutty]

@dfalconer33 I luuuv the original by Poco!

[hoodwink808]

@popnutty the original is by j.j. cale. poco covered it from him. it is from the album "jj cale-naturally". released early 70s

jj cale also wrote "cocaine".. many artists including clapton covered it.

in fact, a lot of jjs songs were covered by people and made famous by them,

yet, i think the originals are the best.. jj was a god.

this is a nice version by beck, he sings it well, the guitars rough, but the end guitar work is good. the original is on youtube, check it

[popnutty]

@hoodwink808 Wow! Thanks. I will definitely check him out.

[kumarabhishekjha]

@popnutty Hey the original is by the one & only 'THE' JJ Cale...

[Toymadster]

@popnutty Hate to pop yer bubble but the original was by JJ Cale, He wrote it and recoded it first. I am sure Poco did a sweet version but you gotta give credit where credit is due.

[MonsieurDDD]

his voice reminds me of Eddy Vedder...

[kyuteh]

why does he sing with an accent? he speaks so much more different than he sings.

[andyinoregon]

Beck Hansen is a vocal chameleon. I've always thought he is the U.S. answer to David Bowie in terms of his musical versatility.

[jamessio]

nice..i love jj cale songs..the best songs i ever heard

[Andreeea18rock]

Youre the best I ever had...

I <3 D

[AmbientMess]

Just a legend in my opinion. If I ever met Beck in real life I'd probably faint in sheer amazement!

[melozarmelo]

good cover

[maimrozek]

Excellent !

[debbieallen2]

beautiful song

[idicula1979]

Wow, he has a great and very distinct voice.

[crusty770]

i have new respect for his artistry

[anothernoise1]

Excellent!

[theforsakenpiggies]

Good lord! was beck smiling?!

that doesn't happen too often. :o

[samsco1208]

@theforsakenpiggies

Might have been gas-lol

[juliac916]

@theforsakenpiggies but it's like finding gold when he does :)

[bleedingrasberry]

he played this on my birthday!!

[Cooleemee43]

Its hard to screw up such a beautiful song, JJ Cale is a one of a kind songwriter. I think Beck does a fine job but for those not initiated with JJ Cale, the awsome feel of this song, the easy pace and almost lilting dreamlike feel of the song belongs to JJ.

[Johnmathewave]

@Cooleemee43 eh man,ok jjcale it's legendary but you could appreciate a song even it is not "the" original. buy beck's album and you will understand is better than jj cale! and if you dont like:Don't WATCH(SUCKER)

[dnteatylwsno9]

@Cooleemee43

Well its a thousand times better than what that Jai person did to it. He/she butchered the hell outta one beautiful song.

[jbluemchen]

magnifique reprise... +.+/

[candykid5]

beautiful <3

[oliturtle]

the verses sound reminiscent of lost cause from sea change!

[julyboy66]

true

[nightman200]

Hahahaah....no where close to Mr. Cale....screwed it up

[justlikejack1959]

I was very young and in love when i first heard this song many years ago. I've loved Cale since. Can't say the same for the guy.

[kittenshateyou]

"the guy".. you mean Beck Fuckin Hansen. He's amazing learn his name, stooge :)

[aerosmithgirl]

Beautiful.

[garbeaj]

It is one of J.J. Cale's greatest songs and the original recording is haunting...from the Naturally album

[justlikejack1959]

It sure is.

[justlikejack1959]

he's not John Cale, but pretty damned awesome nontheless.

[garbeaj]

It would be great if someone that likes Beck stumbles onto this and learns about J.J. That is one of those rare positive aspects of the internet:)

[justlikejack1959]

I totally agree with. It's good to see a young talented artist like Beck bring classic Cale to a whole new audience.

[zeedi0]

That's exactly what happened with me.

I also love Clapton, so i stumbled upon Road to Escondido, and i fell in love with J.J's music

Did Beck actually put this on an album, or is

it just a live thing that he does?

[garbeaj]

I believe it was just a nice off-the-wall cover he threw in...but I am no expert on Beck...Road To Escondido was also great because it brought Doyle Bramhall II to Clapton's band...I would hope people listening to that album would check out Doyle's playing and his brilliant songwriting and singing...

[hvijayan]

not on an album, but well worth checking out 'sea change' (if you haven't already) if you like the acoustic flavour of this cover

[julyboy66]

never heard this song on an album , and i owned all beck Major label cd'S .

[SarahCullen25]

Does anyone know on which CD I can find this song?

[ohgreatguru]

very talented artist. that's right, artist.

[znelm]

wow he fucked this ine up

[StillOdey9999]

he can play it like he's on MY bed if he wants to... : )

[greglongcarabine]

when you know the original and if you know that feeling... attention, ceci est une bombe

[LynneMarguerite]

does anyone from way back knowif this guy is the Jeff Beck?

[Magnetwiththemonies]

This is Beck Hansen. Jeff Beck is blues/rock guitarist. Who used to be a part of the sixties band the Yardbirds.

[royalnash]

i did not even recognize his voice he sounds like eddie veder

[brandon9271]

well he doesn't sound like his usual self that's for sure.. but Vedder? People say everybody sounds like Vedder.. but nobody really does to me. Vedder's voice is actually pretty unique. Nickelback,Creed,7 Mary Three.. people all said they sound like Vedder but do they really? It's sort of like saying "Tastes like chicken" but after you eat it a while you realize it doesn't :P

[tooheys1968]

that is so funny

[kittenshateyou]

vedder isn't talented enough to make Beck Hansen a latte.

[ToBerfestaNDZEAland]

i love how his voice changes and varies between songs

[lagartijamaya]

Beck does an amazing job with this classic. .... this song moves me. There is such a longing....

You do that, Beck.... play it like you are just on your bed or something. Keep singing.

[fosenteskotia]

i wake up and look upon your painted eyelids... i guess i'm a snobby douche... but i miss old beck.

[seph0000]

you are a big fuckin snobby douche.

im agreeing with you.

so you cant take this offensively :)

[fosenteskotia]

well, you did add "big" and "fuckin"...

[Martinvanvannostrin]

i think its pretty obvious that scientology hasnt turned beck into a bad person or anything, so why should it matter? scientology is fine with me.

[egccr]

Does anyone know where can I find this in mp3 or any other audio format?

[egccr]

Best cover ever, Beck is the shit!!! great song

[me1onhead]

All the best songs are soul songs. Not necessarily soul - R'n'B soul - songs. Just songs you just know originated from deep within the song writers soul. This is one of them. Hats off to Beck for having the kudos to recognise this song and performing a lovely rendition of it.

[Outrjs]

Thank you Beck for awakening my soul and letting me see what Love and Life are ment for. Because of your soft song and heavy words, you allow me to think of Christ and what is my true purpose. To awaken those who want to know the Living Christ and His promise to take us with Him to Heaven and let us finally be free the way he entended them to be in the Beginning. Thank you.

[LynneMarguerite]

drivin' at 4am to get my son out in the carolina country in my 250 chevy station wagon listenin to this by JJCale, so high, got lost that nite, and I prayed for directions, and found my son there, with his beautiful long blonde hair shaved and shorn, to this day, he will not grow his hair long, my sad...this song is one of the best, i am going back to carolina very soon, like now, BPJ I am going home

[badger63119]

who cares about.. spiders.. or god...or L. Ron Hubbard...

a soft summer beach with a lovely song is enough...

[MrBField]

Yanks and scientology is totally weird. Scares the spiders out of my mars.

But way more importantly, that song is beautiful.

The origional is better, but beck is still a talent.

Even if he is short american and a scientologist.

;-)

[cheney666]

i never thought hed get to that third chord

triumphantly lame

[kittenshateyou]

the only thing triumphantly lame is you. Go back to playing guitar hero and fondeling yourself in your parents basement.

[LynneMarguerite]

if you have heard a whiporill sing, it is the absolutely most beautiful song, in the mountains of east tennessee, with the dogwood flower, the magnolia tree/flower is in south carolina....sweetest smell of life

[rumisays]

Very very true.

[erwmlw]

There is a guy in Lewiston, Michigan that does a great job on this song (Sneaky Peat)and so does Mr. Beck..

[unclealand]

Is it true Beck will pay your Scientology bill if you write nice things about him?

[ewanscarlett]

I'm a scientologist and this is a really bigoted dumb ass comment.

[unclealand]

Then you paid $300,000 to find out that L. Ron Hubbard is really god? How much did you spend before you got to the secret chapters about the spiders from Mars?

[ewanscarlett]

How much do you get paid to write shitty comments about people with talent? Exactly nothing. So give it up.

[unclealand]

Beck's so over, anyway. But, hey. He knows the big Scientology secret: L Ron Hubbard is really god. Can you afford to be enlightened like Beck?

[kittenshateyou]

Beck is the best thing in the cosmos. He'll never be over.

[midgetworld228]

Fuckin' right...Beck is so talented

[Halfadrop]

Not good.

Sorry.

[ramblingvine]

This song is so pretty... I think Beck really brought it out.

[me1onhead]

It really pisses me off when people compare cover versions to originals. He's up there paying homage to a great singer/songwriter for chrissakes. Kudos to Beck I say!

[julianchosun]

I've seen Beck live in London in 2001. He's truly a great performer, and it's exciting to hear him playing on of my favourite songs. He nails the vocals here. Great job. The guitar playing though: he hammers the catch-riff hook-run thing too much. Ease off - that's the beauty of the song - it leaves you wanting to hear that catch-riff again.

[yourtubeuser128947]

like I didn't already love beck enough, he starts singing like this "like he's on his bed" his accent is so wonderful!

[beckbeckbeck]

INCREDIBLE

[mthar]

Nice to hear Beck pay homage to one of the greatest musicians in music, <J.J. Cale> check HIM out!!

... he's Clapton's idol...no kidding.

[YogritMUN]

I love how awkward he is on stage sometimes after his songs (no joke). It's what makes beck, well, beck!

I'veneve heard him sing this well

[dancegypsy]

Nice, but he comes third for me, with J.J. Cale first, Chris Smither second.

[VoodooConnection]

good work but i prefer jj cale's version

[whoseline14]

Haha, when he throws the microphone. "Gotta liven things up a little bit."

[vandergraff]

wow. love it. very calming.

[zahmin89]

Wasn't this on Austin City Limits?  Does anyone know what night it was on?

[crystalchrysalis]

Oh god...he really is beautifull.

i love beck

[Aldi63]

I prefer the master's version JJ.Cale

[aluv101]

He is so beautiful...pixie-ish looking with a deep velvety voice. Crazy.

[Yasko3]

Amazing rendition of Magnolia! Beck really can do it all!
