Recorded prior to Mellow Gold but released several months after that album turned Beck into an overnight sensation, One Foot In The Grave bolsters his neo-folkie credibility the way the nearly simultaneously released Stereopatheic Soul Manure accentuated his underground noise prankster credentials. One Foot is neatly perched between authentic folk-blues - it opens with "He's A Mighty Good Leader," a traditional number sometimes credited to Skip James, and he rewrites Rev. Gary Davis' "You Gotta Move" as "Fourteen Rivers Fourteen Floods" - and the shambolic, indie anti-folk coming out of the Northwest in the early '90s, a connection underscored by the record's initial release on Calvin Johnson's Olympia, Washington-based K Records, and its production by Johnson, who also sings on a couple of cuts.
