The Charlatans – You Cross My Path
The Charlatans have announced that they were going to give away their new album but Radiohead pretty much stole their thunder. “You Cross My Path” is the first single from that album and it is available to download via the bands website and xfm.co.uk. As a life long Charlatans fan, I am usually able to stomach most of the bands output than most people. The bands last album “Simpatico” wasn’t their shinning moment but it did have some positive moments. “You Cross My Path” shows the band still have something left in the tank, it does have a slight early nineties feel with the keyboards and Tim’s vocal but they never mange to cross the line to sounding to “dated.” It doesn’t have that sexy falsetto vocals that “Up At The Lake” did. The song is just vintage Charlatans sounding fresh and limber.
