There are a bunch of acts in rock and roll who had a reluctant biggest hit song. Sheryl Crow (“All I Want To Do”) and Blind Melon (“No Rain”) are examples of musicians who ended up surprised by their top hit. Del Amitri also falls firmly into that category. A band that survived being dropped from their original label after just one album, these guys toughened up their sound for Twisted, their fourth album, and landed an unlikely hit in the pop nugget “Roll To Me”, a song that barely fits with the rest of their repertoire. At barely two minutes, “Roll To Me” indeed sounds like an afterthought, surely intended to be not much more than filler. But the song was a hit, and brought Del Amitri a much wider audience. As for the rest of the album, the heavier guitar sound is new to the band at this point. It gives them an edge, taking away the emphasis on the almost too perfect harmonies that the band is well known for.
What really carries Twisted (as well as its slightly better predecessor Change Everything) is the songwriting. Bassist/singer Justin Currie and guitarist Iain Harvie were clearly at their peak during this period, and the quality of songs shows that. “Here And Now”, “Driving With The Brakes On”, and “Tell Her This” are proof that, especially when spiced by the heavier guitar work, Del Amitri had the goods. And they bring it here…this album is a great listen, a breath of fresh air, especially in the flannel driven depressing state of rock music at the time. The band was unable to top the success of Twisted, and particularly “Roll To Me”, on their next album, which led to their demise by 2002. But for a two album stretch from 1992-1995, Del Amitri was almost as good as anyone. You should have Twisted, and you should most definitely have Change Everything…all of the Del Amitri you would ever need. [First added to this chart: 03/14/2025]
