Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song

I knew k.d. lang's incredible cover of this song from her 1997 album "Drag," but hadn't heard the original until this past week.Just about tore my heart in two.All about the pain of addiction, sorrow for those involved... pretty bleak stuff.

Spike says Wonderful. The slow beat provides the requisite inertia. His voice is hard to resist.

The Time Machine says

David Wilcox is a wonderful songwriter. For some reason his song "Block Dog" stands as one of his best of my personal favorites but this song always stops me in my tracks.

Bartleby says That was simply heart-wrenching - anything to do with Chet has that bitter-sweet quality like a storm brooding a quiet plain.

dermahrk says David Wilcox is one of those artists that I love so much that I own a complete collection and have seen him live more than once. This song is representative of the high quality of most of the music he puts out. Thanks for this.
