Lloyd Cole, 'Weeping Wine', 1991

[cogscretin]

This song is perfect in every way...plus he's playing a kick ass '69 Thinline Tele which I have too :) Interesting that his has a rosewood fretboard though—very cool!

[TheYeltzman]

I remember this performance on Wogan- jeez was that really 20 years ago.

[wsperger]

Doesn't get any better than Lloyd Cole.

[LBjim]

What happened to the original video that use to be posted on YOU TUBE!!..

[TheWeebletree]

Didn't Matthew Sweet play bass and backup vocals on this album?

[floppyd0g]

@TheWeebletree Yeah I believe he did. You can hear his backing vocals on this track. Lloyd was on MS's"Girlfriend" album too.

[philscreen]

Sorry, 60sbest, but I'm afraid that I don't have any footage of Lloyd performing 'Tell Her Sister' or 'To The Lions' - he only promoted the single releases on British TV.

[11xzxzxz]

@philscreen You don't have Tell her sister and the great songs on Lloyd's first two great solo efforts.

Hey if not you then who. I gotta hear more Lloyd from those 2 fine records. Robert Quine RIP too and his wife too. Quine had a law degree and if he were alive he's get Cole's first two back. OK I am shutting down.

[11xzxzxz]

@philscreen OK thanks for the info.

[60sbest]

Great Lloyd channel, Philscreen. It would be a wondeful think if Philscreen could , when convenient, and if a lawful entry and a strip search is done and finds perfect skin, post up Tell Her Sister & To the Lions. OK, at the very least Tell her Sister unless you don't like it (impossible) or the law is breathing down your back on rue morgue avenue . Thanks if you can.

Every song on side one is good. Every song on his first solo album is good. Why did they not sell? the story of man.

[blacksunfish]

Best band he ever assembled in my opinion. I remember this tour fondly.

[Panthera0nca]

I so remember this Wogan performance in 1991 as I was due to see him at the Hammersmith Odeon a few weeks later.

Ok so he never got the recognition many think he deserved but you can bet if he'd have died young in tragic circumstances he's have been a cult hero the alternative world over. Such is life!!!

[bigjimandthewolfpack]

The great Matthew Sweet played bass and did background vocals on the LP.

[cogscretin]

@bigjimandthewolfpack I believe Mr. Sweet also wrote/co-wrote this song, too!

[cogscretin]

@cogscretin Ah...I was mistaken...I don't have the cassette anymore and I'm relying on my ever-failing mem----what was I just talking about?

[danno321s]

Lloyd Cole is pre-selling his next album. See his website for more info on this.

[georgiaslop]

first time i heard this, thought it was "weekend wine." whole album is great; his best i think. too bad the machine ate the ending.

[philscreen]

A friend mistakenly thought that the 'Perfect Skin' line "...And she's sexually enlightened by 'Cosmopolitan' and..." was actually "...And she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan hands..."

[mgparis]

Bless him, he looked so young and handsome! LOVE this song (the entire album actually)

[rockchick80s]

Been playing his CD non-stop in the car - having a trip down memory lane. Saw him and The Commotions over 20 years ago -feels like yesterday. So laid back and cool. Plus any song with Wine in the tile does it for me lol

[baronmorris]

yeah I always like revisiting my lloyde cole collection. there are some good live fairly recent recordings out there. it's neat to hear him reinterpret songs. still the same old lloyd tho, thankfully.

peace

Awesome! I just love these lyrics...and oh...'the last thing you needed is me and my weeping wine' I almost feel 25 again...drunk and bitter over a lost love!

I just love-love-love Lloyd Cole!
