With its distinctive sound and heartfelt lyrics "Mosely Shoals" is a genuine timeless classic and was worth every one of the admittedly relatively few pennies I spent on my second-hand disc.

In December 2012, the band announced the forthcoming release of their tenth studio album, Painting, which was released on 11 February 2013.Ocean Colour Scene (often abbreviated to OCS) are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1989.

Despite some changes in the lineup over the years, Dan Sealey and Andy Bennett have been permanent fixtures since replacing Damon Minchella in 2003. Fourth track "Lining Your Pockets" is different, it's slower and reflective with a sixties British folk-pop sound that gradually builds to a crescendo as Simon Fowler's demonstrates the magnificence of his vocals. A low-key start to their career was boosted by two things – the endorsement of two of Britain’s biggest pop stars – Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher, and the exposure given to the first single, "The Riverboat Song", by Chris Evans on his hit TV show TFI Friday. By the time Ocean Colour Scene released their debut album in 1992, they were already considered has-beens.

In 2009, the band went into the studio with producer Gavin Monaghan, known for his work with Editors, Scott Matthews and The Twang, to work on a new album, Saturday, with a release date of 1 February 2010 to mark the 21st anniversary of the band.
