Del Amitri, the Scottish pop-rock band, got their biggest American hit out of a song that barely clears two minutes: "Roll to Me", which A&M issued in June 1995 as the third single off their fourth album, Twisted. Justin Currie wrote the words and the music, Al Clay engineered it and Bob Clearmountain mixed it, polishing the hooks until they gleam.
It climbed to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and finished 55th on Billboard's year-end list for 1995, though back home in the UK it was only a moderate hit, peaking at No. 22. The first UK CD single backed it with acoustic takes of "Food for Songs" and "One Thing Left to Do".
