Loved this on their first big exposure record in the US, "Some Friendly," back in 1991 or so...still sounds really good, too!
I must say, their new record Who We Touch is a nice surprise -- some tracks on it are as cool and catchy as ever, check it out!

I couldn't track this song down for years because I thought the same thing.

I wouldn't agree with Cynaera that the Charlatans are a Deep Purple clone, but Bill just made a great segue from this song to DP's "Hush."

No kidding?! Gotta look that up. I had this great little song on one of my mix tapes when it first came out, and when my mix tapes were actually tapes.

The Charlatans have been putting out records just about as long as The Stone Roses have.

this songs recalls memories since i was 18 years old...

it's great for RP that "listens" what listeners suggest...
Hush from Deep Purple is sure a great choice after this song!!!

Good song connections based either on sound or anything else (lyrics, song title, occasion etc) always add value to the producer's job. Well done RP.

I love the soaring melodies on this song. Goes to show that a song can be slightly derivative and excellent too.


Bands like this are cool. Intermixing riffs from one song/band and another and their own is the kind of music that makes me smile wide.

That's one of the reasons I enjoyed Tesla so much, at least live. They just ran so many into each other and made them work very well.

I was listening to this thinking it reminded me of Deep Purple's Hush. Next up in the playlist: Hush.

Sometimes you freak me out, Bill.

You could get Sam Smiths in Oregon?!? Wow - that's some way from Tadcaster in deepest, darkest Yorkshire. You were lucky - Sam's is increasingly hard to get hold of over here now that the sodding supermarkets have almost monopolised booze sales, putting 'off licences' and local stores out of business. There is one store near me that sells it, and as you've mentioned it I'm going to drop by and buy a couple of bottles for tonight, and raise a pint glass to you and to Oregon :*)

Ironic, in a place where gambling and prostitution is legal. *shrug*

Too bad they stopped short of putting Rod Evans on vocals.
