Driver's Seat - Peter Blegvad

Peter Blegvad is getting more recognition these days since his song "Daughter" was featured in the movie Knocked Up, in a cover version by Loudon Wainwright III. Like all the best artists, part of Blegvad's strength is his range. "Daughter" is an authentically sweet but never cloying expression of deep parental love. In contrast, "Driver's Seat" (from the same album as "Daughter," 1995's Just Woke Up) mines a dark but very funny vein.
