"Divorce Song" comes from Liz Phair's 1993 album Exile in Guyville, and it's a lean affair on paper. Phair wrote it, sings it and plays guitar, and she produced it with Brad Wood, who engineered the session and covered both the drums and the bass himself. Casey Rice adds a second guitar on top of his assistant engineering duties, and John Casey blows harmonica.
That's the whole crew, behind a title that doesn't waste a second on euphemism.
