"On Call" sits third on Kings of Leon's 2007 album Because of the Times, and in Britain it went out first, on March 26, 2007, with "My Third House" on the flip. Ethan Johns and Angelo Petraglia produced it, Lowell Reynolds engineered, and the four Followills, Caleb, Jared, Matthew and Nathan, share the writing.
It's a slow-burning, loose-limbed thing, the guitars circling and simmering under a scuffed-up, drawling vocal, the sound of a band learning how much power it can hold in reserve. It reached 18 on the UK singles chart, and Australian listeners voted it third in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2007.
