Beck

In the live recording of “Devil’s Haircut” from September 6, 1997, Beck was riding high on the waves created by his breakthrough album, *Odelay*, released just a year before. This was a pivotal moment in his career; *Odelay* had catapulted him into the limelight, blending genres like folk, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music into a sound that was both innovative and distinctly his own. The performance at Sony Music Studios during the “Sessions at West 54th” show captured not just Beck’s quirky style but also the eclectic spirit of the ’90s music scene. It's interesting to note that during this period, Beck was known for his unpredictable creativity, often infusing his live performances with a sense of spontaneity and playfulness, which is palpable in this particular recording. This era truly marked a defining moment for him, as he solidified his reputation as a genre-bending artist who wasn’t afraid to take risks.
