“With a Bullet” by Sam Roberts

"With a Bullet" was one of three singles from Chemical City, the second studio album by Canadian songwriter Sam Roberts, which hit Canadian shelves on April 11, 2006, and reached American ones that May. Roberts wrote it on his own and co-produced it with Joseph Donovan and Mark Howard, who also engineered; Josh Trager plays drums and percussion, and Stuart Sikes mixed.

The album leaned on '70s classic rock, and critics heard it: AllMusic's Jo-Ann Greene caught echoes of the Rolling Stones, the Small Faces and New Model Army, while Pitchfork's Cory D. Byron liked Roberts' pared-back singer-songwriter spin on the old sound, and liked it best when the tempo picked up. The record debuted at number three in Canada and eventually went platinum there.
