Weeping Wine
"Weeping Wine" is a song by English singer, songwriter and musician Lloyd Cole, released in 1991 as the second single from his second studio album ''Don't Get Weird on Me Babe''. The song was written by Cole, and produced by Cole, Fred Maher and Paul Hardiman. It reached number 91 in the UK Singles Chart. Release Cole originally agreed to Polydor's wishes for " She's a Girl and I'm a Man" to be the lead single from ''Don't Get Weird on Me Babe'' on the condition that "There for Her" or another track from the album's "orchestral side" would be the second single. After "She's a Girl and I'm a Man" failed to meet the label's expectations, Cole was scheduled to appear on ''Wogan'' to perform the follow-up single. The label ultimately decided to release the more commercial "Weeping Wine" as the second single instead of an orchestral one without Cole's input. He told ''Hearsay Magazine'' in 2000, "It was quite strange because when 'She's a Girl and I'm a Man' wasn't a hit there was no Pl ...

Robert Wolfe Quine (December 30, 1942 – May 31, 2004) was an American guitarist. A native of Akron, Ohio, Quine worked with a wide range of musicians, though he himself remained relatively unknown. Critic Mark Deming wrote that "Quine's eclectic style embraced influences from jazz, rock, and blues players of all stripes, and his thoughtful technique and uncompromising approach led to rewarding collaborations with a number of visionary musicians."
