I don't have the CD in front of me, and I can't remember if this is written by Knight or one of the other guys in the band. Whatever, it's brilliant on every level, and if it doesn't nail you to the wall you definitely need to have it looked at.

Your Tuesday Moment of Words Fail Me
And speaking as we were last Friday of people who should be household words but aren't (thus conclusively proving the non-existence of God), from the 1992 EP Lone Green Valley please enjoy alt-country pioneers The Blood Oranges -- featuring bassist/vocalist Cheri Knight -- and their absolutely devastating "All the Way Down."

Wow! Terrific record, top-shelf performances, and a great, great song. Whoever wrote it has super chops - I especially love the uneven lines. Where are they now? Don't tell me.
Cheri is retired from music. The rest of them still do occasional gigs together.
BTW, Pete, I just knew you'd like it.

I really, really do.
"that bull charged."
God, I wish I'd written that.
Cheri is missed!

Very nice! Am I hearing echoes of "I Come and Stand at Every Door"?
I made it through the whole thing and it nearly brought me to tears.
Somehow missed The Blood Oranges the first time around, and after listening to ALL THE WAY DOWN here, I listened to CORN RIVER, the band's 1991 album. Very very nice, too,
