Odelay, even as a cohesive record, was a product of a number of different recording sessions.
The album began life as a more mellow, somber vibe, that Beck started to record with Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf. This took place, I think, in maybe early 1995. ("Ramshackle" is from this, as well as a few b-sides.) At some point, he abandoned that direction, and started making more fun, upbeat sort of songs with The Dust Brothers. I'm not sure if the timeline exactly aligns, but it seems that he may have broke for his summer '95 festival run with Lollapalooza, and returned in the fall of '95 with the decision to make more fun tracks (though a few of those fun tracks did debut on stage at Lollapalooza anyway). Beck also did a whole bunch of country songs with Mario Caldato Jr., however only one track ended up on Odelay (the decidedly non-country "Minus"). At the time, there was talk of doing a release of outtakes, but as would become commonplace, it never happened. | ||
