On August 6 1996, Madonna and brother-in-law Joe Henry contributed a cover of Guilty By Association to the Vic Chesnutt tribute CD Sweet Relief II: Gravity Of The Situation – The Songs Of Vic Chesnutt.
Guilty by Association is one of Madonna’s very best recordings. It’s a Vic Chesnutt gothic ballad about the corrosive effects of stardom and fame-a subject she explored brilliantly on her masterpieces Ray of Light and Confessions on a Dance Floor! Yet here Madonna is-a survivor in the best sense of the term and she wouldn’t have in any other way!
