“Where The River Flows” by Collective Soul
From the album Collective Soul (1995)
“Where The River Flows” by Collective Soul appears on 6 radio countdowns from 3 stations between 1996 and 2002. It was first released in 1995 on the album Collective Soul. Its best result is #722 on the KISW Top 999 of All Time (2002). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #6,039 alternative song of all time.
"Where the River Flows" was the fifth single Collective Soul pulled from their 1995 self-titled album, and the last, and it shows Ed Roland still had plenty in the tank that deep into the campaign. Roland wrote it on his own, sings it, plays guitar on it and co-produced it with Matt Serletic, stacking his guitar with Ross Childress's and Dean Roland's over Will Turpin's bass and Shane Evans's drums. Turpin chips in backing vocals, Luis Enrique adds percussion, and there's a small string section of violins, viola, cello and double bass in there too, with Bob Clearmountain mixing the whole thing to a hard shine.
Rock radio bit: it went all the way to number one on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, the band's fourth single to get there, and slipped into the Canadian top 40 as well.
