OMG! Bowie. "I Am a DJ", from Lodger. Don't think Dave's ever played this one (or anything from this LP).

"Humble pie or bitter fruit."

AMG says it was written by a "Hank DeVito," whose other songwriting efforts are unfamiliar to me.  But Crowell apparently covered it on his 1980 debut.

Meant to say earlier: I heard this song for the first time ever on last night's replay.  If I were a studio whiz I'd be working on a mash-up of that with "I Feel Love."  They seemed really, weirdly structurally similar to me.

Oh my yes, that would work perfectly!

That song was quite the prog-FM "turntable hit" at the time.  As re-inventing-yourself comebacks go, one of the best, IMHO.

Hank DeVito is a steel guitarist who's worked with folks like Emmylou Harris, Rosanne Cash, Ricky Skaggs etc. for years, as has Rodney Crowell. So the path from DeVito to Crowell is a short one.
