Let It Ride by Shed Seven
Let It Ride is an album by Shed Seven, released in 1998. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Chasing Rainbows”, on 1 list with a best position of #17.
Let It Ride, Shed Seven's third album, came out on Polydor in June 1998, with Stephen Street producing. The York band had tightened the circle: for the first time every song came from the partnership of Rick Witter on lyrics and Paul Banks on music.
It's big-hearted, swaggering guitar rock with the choruses cranked, and Street gives it a clean, muscular punch. There's company in the room, too: Inspiral Carpets' Clint Boon drops in on keyboards, and Heather Findlay of fellow York outfit Mostly Autumn adds vocals. "Chasing Rainbows" and "Disco Down" are the tunes the countdowns held on to. Going for Gold came next.
