“Disappointing Diamonds are the Rarest of Them All” by Father John Misty

"Disappointing Diamonds are the Rarest of Them All" comes from God's Favorite Customer, Father John Misty's 2018 album, and Josh Tillman's fingerprints are all over it: he wrote the words and the music, sings it, plays drums and guitar, and produced it with Dave Cerminara.

He brought in a sharp supporting cast, too. Mark Ronson plays bass, Jonathan Rado adds synthesizer, Jon Titterington covers piano and Wurlitzer electric piano, David Vandervelde plays guitar alongside Tillman, and James King contributes saxophone. The title alone reads like a backhanded proverb, a compliment and a put-down folded into one line.
