Great Chicago band led by the venerable and hilarious Jason Narducy (Verbow, Bob Mould, Superchunk. This song also features Britt Daniel (Spoon) on bass and Jon Wurster (Mountain Goats, Superchunk) on drums.
The King's later material is under-appreciated. The lush, orchestral pop of songs like this and later "Kentucky Rain" and "Suspicious Minds" are my favorite pieces of his catalog. This version from the untouchable '68 Comeback Special is fantastic.
Hard to choose a song from one of my favorite artists and dear friend. I chose this one for a few reasons. When I got divorced 7 years ago, my 25-year friendship with Michael, our time together on the phone... This album and song saved my ass.
