Product description. A3 ~ Exile On Coldharbour Lane. This London exponent of 'sweet, pretty country-acid house music'--formerly Alabama 3, until someone remembered the similarly named country-pop group--makes its hybrid work on this debut album. In fact, Exile on Coldharbour Lane sounds like the.

This became famous as the theme song for the HBO TV show The Sopranos, but it was around long before the show. The song first appeared on the group's 1997 debut album Exile on Coldharbour Lane, and remained an obscurity until David Chase, who created the HBO show The Sopranos, decided to use it as the theme song. Chase originally wanted to use a different song for each episode of the show, but HBO insisted on one song for the sake of branding and consistency. Chase says that the first time he heard 'Woke Up This Morning,' he knew it was the one (Chase says he bought the CD after hearing a different song by the group on the radio). A3 received $40,000 for the use of the song; It was an offer they couldn't refuse. With the refrain 'Woke up this morning, got myself a gun,' the song does sound very gangster, but it's actually about a case in which a wife finally shot her abusive husband after twenty years.

The song is about female empowerment, not the mob. The woman in question is Sara Thornton, who killed her husband in 1989. The case made headlines in England, where Alabama 3 founder Rob Spragg heard about it and got the idea for the song.

He wrote the song with his bandmates Jake Black, Simon Edwards and Piers Marsh. Alabama 3 are neither a trio nor from Alabama. Formed by Rob Spragg and Jake Black, they are from south London, but have an affinity for American Country music, which they would combine with House music.

Like Chumbawamba, they were a collective with rotating members, often performing songs with political leanings. Spragg and Black started out playing raves around England under the name Larry Love and the Reverend D Wayne Love, speaking in American accents. Their first album in 1997 was adored by some music critics, but left no impression on the charts, as their fusion of Americana with Eurodance proved a little too niche. That niche turned out to be perfect for The Sopranos, however, as it provided an appropriate song that was unheard to all but a tiny sliver of the show's viewers. When the show became a huge hit, Alabama 3 brought their act to America, where they played a series of shows.

There is a degree of irony in this song that made it apropos for The Sopranos, which is about a Mafia family and their emotional struggles. As Jake Black explained in The Times of London: 'It's totally ironic that we, who disapprove of anything villains do, should be picked for the theme song of a show that shows the human side of villains. You see the guy knocking f--k out of someone.

But he's got heart. All the while the guy's controlling thousands of people's lives, squeezing them. So that is ironic.' By the time this song became the theme for The Sopranos, Alabama 3 had been dropped from their American record label, Geffen.

Sony Music, which issued the soundtrack to the show, re-released the song as a single in 2000, but it went nowhere, as the song got very little airplay (a battered-woman song by British guys with American accents somehow couldn't find a format) and the band was too obscure to generate sales. In the UK, the band is better known for their song 'Ain't Goin' To Goa,' which hit #40 there in 1998. Here's the 1:45 or so of intro dialogue. 'And after three days of drinkin' with Larry Love I just get an inklin' to go on home So, I'm walkin' down Coldharbour Lane Head hung low, three or four in the mornin' The suns comin' up and the birds are out singing I let myself into my pad Wind myself up that spiral staircase An' stretch out nice on the chesterfield Pithecanthropus Erectus already on the CD player And I just push that remote button to sublimity And listen to the sweet sculptural rhythms of Charles Mingus And J.R.
