Nope. 1994. "Sleeps With Angels" album. With Crazy Horse.

The album is a bit morbid because it deals with the death of Kurt Cobain, who quoted from "Hey Hey My My" in the suicide note and the death of a friend's daughter in a mistaken driveby shooting (see "Driveby").

It think it's a great song. It's a bit of relief on the album from the rest of the gloom. Kind of like how "Come On Baby, Let's Go Downtown" is relief on "Tonight's The Night".

I see its antecedents more as being "Welfare Mothers" and "Fucking Up". "Come on Baby, Let's Go Downtown" certainly acts as relief from the prevailing mood on "Tonight's The Night", but its main role is to explain the mood of the rest of the album: It was Danny's junk song.

Still, good post!
