Beck - “Sunday Morning”

An upcoming addition to Beck’s website known as Record Club will have him hopping into the studio with some friends, covering an entire classic album (without the benefit of rehearsal), and posting one song a week from the session. Lucky for us, he started with a perennial favorite, The Velvet Underground’s The Velvet Underground & Nico. The first track off the album, one we’ve posted here before, is also the first of the Record Club sessions to be released. And as obvious as it may be, this song really is my favorite song to play on a Sunday morning.

Velvet Underground - “Sunday Morning”

Some days, when I roll through my iTunes library, I come across songs I can’t believe I haven’t posted yet, and “Sunday Morning” is one of those songs. Pleasant and uplifting without being saccharine or obnoxiously bouncy, “Sunday Morning” is actually a perfect song choice for, get this, a Sunday morning.

Plus, when you have Wired asking whether this track is the greatest wake-up tune ever, you know they’ve managed to create a classic.
