Beachwood Sparks – “Old Manatee” (Audio)
‘Once We Were Trees’
Sub Pop – Oct. 9, 2001
*Beachwood Sparks – “Old Manatee” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSs8lWexkRQ // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_We_Were_Trees // “Old Manatee” serves as a prime example of Beachwood Sparks’s ability to blend traditional American roots music with psychedelic textures. On ‘Once We Were Trees,’ the track is frequently described as a “passable stab at Bill Monroe,” indicating a deliberate foray into bluegrass territory distinct from the album’s broader psychedelic country-rock sound. Our third cut from this all-timer album in Monarchy rotation!*
