Time On Our Side Colosseum SKU: RUF2017 Barcode: 710347201717 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Blues Label: Ruf Records Released Date: 24th November 2014 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Time On Our Side walks a creative tightrope, stretching the genre-blurring band’s palette while always showing their inimitable thumbprint. The jiving jump-blues of City Of Love. The shape-shifting jazz of Dick’s Licks. The stacked harmonies of You Just Don’t Get It. The melancholy ache of New Day. It feels like Colosseum, even if it doesn’t always sound like them. Hiseman cites the original mission-statement as “rocky, jazzy rhythms, vocals with intelligent words, improvised solos” – but in truth, there’s not a pigeonhole in the world that can contain them. Eleven years have passed since Tomorrow’s Blues: a lifetime in rock ‘n’ roll. Time On Our Side may have been a pleasure to record, at Hiseman’s own Temple Music Studio in Surrey, yet its completion marks the end of a period of some uncertainty. “We started it in 2010 by meeting in the studio and playing through demos that had been written by the bandmembers,” the drummer remembers. “But after 2010, the future of Colosseum was always going to be decided by whether Barbara would be able to tour again…” Of course, multi-instrumentalist Barbara Thompson is a vital part of the Colosseum story. She and Hiseman met in 1964, then married in 1967, and during the band’s first run, she played – albeit uncredited – on the first three albums. Colosseum split in 1971, and Thompson led her own outfit, yet she remained a close ally, and when the reunited band lost original saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith in 2004, she stepped up. Undoubtedly, Thompson’s sax lines are the fairydust on the new material, from Safe As Houses to The Way You Waved Goodbye. That this new album is so dazzlingly successful is testament to the enduring genius of one of Britain’s most inventive lineups. Almost a half-century after Colosseum’s formation, this is unmistakably the sound of a band with gas still in the tank and endless lightbulbs popping over their heads. “I know that when we get together we all feel like we are coming home,” says Hiseman. “This album was easy to make and it just feels right…” Artist Colosseum Genre Blues Label Ruf Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Safe As Houses Blues To Music The Way You Waved Goodbye Dick's Licks Nowhere To Be Found City Of Love You Just Don't Get It New Day Anno Domini Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Colosseum and more from Blues View Product Quick View Colosseum Daughter Of Time Progressive | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th January 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Colosseum Daughter Of Time £20.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2314C Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Colosseum Valentyne Suite Progressive | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 14th October 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Colosseum Valentyne Suite £19.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1758 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hollis Brown Hollis Brown Gets Loaded Blues | Alive | 1LP Released 2nd January 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hollis Brown Hollis Brown Gets Loaded £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Alive SKU: LPALIVE0158 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Allman Brothers Band Where It All Begins Blues | Music On Vinyl | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th April 2024 £40.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Allman Brothers Band Where It All Begins £40.00 Genre: Blues Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: nn284300 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Fred McDowell First Recordings (The Alan Lomax Portrait Series) Blues | Mississippi Records | 1LP Released 19th August 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fred McDowell First Recordings (The Alan Lomax Portrait Series) £16.00 Genre: Blues Label: Mississippi Records SKU: MR074LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th August 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Snowy White Driving On The 44 Blues | Snowy White | 1LP Released 22nd July 2022 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Snowy White Driving On The 44 £36.00 Genre: Blues Label: Snowy White SKU: 884860444415 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Cray In My Soul Blues | Provogue | 1LP Released 31st March 2014 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Cray In My Soul £18.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: PRD74361 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lightnin' Hopkins Rockin’ At Herald Blues | Wax Love | 1LP Released 20th April 2018 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lightnin' Hopkins Rockin’ At Herald £14.00 Genre: Blues Label: Wax Love SKU: WLV82075 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gary Clark Jr. This Land Blues | Warner Bros | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 1st March 2019 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gary Clark Jr. This Land £33.00 Genre: Blues Label: Warner Bros SKU: 0093624902287 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 1st March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Khruangbin & Men I Trust Live at RBC Echo Beach Blues | Dead Oceans | 1LP Released 11th August 2023 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Khruangbin & Men I Trust Live at RBC Echo Beach £25.00 Genre: Blues Label: Dead Oceans SKU: DOC333LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mighty Sam McClain Give It Up To Love Blues | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th September 2020 £58.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mighty Sam McClain Give It Up To Love £58.00 Genre: Blues Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPB 1015-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fleetwood Mac Before the Beginning Vol 1: Live 1968 Blues | Sony Legacy | 3LP Released 15th November 2019 £43.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fleetwood Mac Before the Beginning Vol 1: Live 1968 £43.00 Genre: Blues Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 19075923251 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 15th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Blues Start again
