It was June 22nd, 1996 when Billboard Magazine revealed Madonna's collaboration with her brother-in-law Joe Henry on the Sweet Relief II: Gravity Of The Situation – The Songs Of Vic Chesnutt. "Guilty By Association", the first of many collaborations Madonna would do with Joe. Probably her most rawest and best collab ever. Madonna & Henry would later collaborate on her songs Don’t Tell Me, Jump, The Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You and Falling Free which all have been fan favorites.

@stefo, Like you, this is my favorite and a lot of that is due to the fact, it's more Joe Henry than Madonna. Still, I love those tracks that came from him. I prefer her version of "Don't Tell Me" than his "Don't Stop". The same goes with "Devill.... " . She created something special with those tracks. I can imagine how special or different if she "Madonannized" "Guilty By Association", but it seemed perfect as is.

@tscott absolutely agree about both tracks, even if the best, for what I heard, is still to come: the blues ReInvention early version of Devil is apparently the most interesting and powerful. Who knows if we'll ever get it. The HC version is too Timberlakish, very Cry me a river sound (but that's a problem of the whole album)
