A friend of Beckett's gave him Lucinda Williams' album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, which influenced his writing style, though it was not until college that he became serious about music. A college baseball player, Beckett was injured, and while sidelined, he learned to play guitar. The Pacific Northwest's indie music scene provided the backdrop for Beckett's first steps into song writing and recording. ===2018: Homage: Deluxe Reissue=== For the first time ever, songs with lyrics were permitted in the 2018 Pyonchang Winter Olympics.
