"Que Onda Guero" sits on Beck's 2005 album Guero, and its credits read like a house party that got gloriously out of hand. Beck produced it with the Dust Brothers, and he plays nearly everything himself: acoustic and electric guitars, drums, keyboards, harmonica, percussion, celesta, even the handclaps, which he shares with his co-producers. Then the guests pile in. Joey Waronker adds drums, Smokey Hormel electric guitar, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. clavinet and Money Mark organ, while the bass is split among Sean Davis, Justin Meldal-Johnsen and, of all people, Jack White. Petra Haden lends her voice, and Beck shares the songwriting with John King and Mike Simpson.
