Beck Gets A Hand From Jack White

By Jonathan Cohen
Billboard

Beck's next DGC/Geffen album will boast an appearance by White Stripes singer/guitarist Jack White on an as-yet-untitled song. The new album, also without a title, is due in late October, according to Beck's spokesperson. A tour is expected to follow, with dates to be announced.

White's guest spot returns the favor of Beck's cameo appearance in the Stripes' 2003 video "The Hardest Button to Button," one of the most played clips of last fall on MTV2.

The follow-up to 2002's "Sea Change" reunites Beck with production team the Dust Brothers, with whom he had not worked since 1999's "Midnite Vultures." The Dust Brothers were also behind the boards for 1996's "Odelay," which won a Grammy for best alternative music performance.

"Sea Change" debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 574,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Before the new album's release, Beck can be heard covering Daniel Johnston's "Things Last a Long Time" on the tribute album "The Late, Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered," due Sept. 21 via Gammon.

If this will be in the Odelay or Midnite Vultures vein, I'll be getting it. Or even if it isn't, I'm interested in checking out more of Beck's music. An early recollection I have of him was seeing him as a guest on MTV's 120 Minutes around the time "Loser" was out. He was apparently trying to give off the vibe of being this spacey, aloof weird guy and that turned me off just because I thought it was a put on. Thankfully, we've since seen that it turns out he's a cool guy who makes good music. I'm definitely a fan of his now.

I still think Jack White should callaborate with Jack Black.
