"Sugarcane" was the first single from Diamonds & Debris, Cry of Love's second album and, as it turned out, their swan song: the record came out in 1997 and the band split not long after. The song made it to number 22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Lead guitarist Audley Freed wrote it on his own, and he wrote most of that album without knowing who would end up singing it. Kelly Holland was gone, and it took years before Robert Mason stepped in on lead vocals and guitar. With John Custer producing, Freed didn't burn studio hours chasing one perfect tone; he trusted good guitars and good amps to do the job. Then the band hit the road across North America to push the record, one last run before the end.
