"Tumble in the Rough" sits third on Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, Stone Temple Pilots' third studio album from 1996, and it's an oddity in their catalog: the only song on any STP album that Scott Weiland wrote entirely on his own, words and music. That's why it kept turning up in the setlists of his solo bands.
On the record Weiland sings, with Dean DeLeo on guitar, Robert DeLeo on bass and Eric Kretz on drums, with Brendan O'Brien producing. Atlantic sent it out as a promo single on January 31, 1997, and rock and alternative radio grabbed hold on both sides of the border: it reached 60 on the Canadian singles chart and number 9 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.
