One Foot in the Grave is an indie rock album by Beck, released in June of 1994 (see 1994 in music) on K Records, an independent label. Like predecessor Stereopathetic Soul Manure, the album never charted. However, One Foot in the Grave strenghtened Beck's reputation, allowing him to break into the mainstream with Odelay in 1996 (see 1996 in music). His third official album, One Foot In The Grave has a strong folk-influence, more pronounced than in Beck's usual eclectic style. Beck One Foot in the Grave album cover This is an album cover. ...
