“Cannonball” is the opening track from Supertramp’s 1985 album Brother Where You Bound. Written and sung by keyboardist Rick Davies all in the chord of G. Davies stated in an interview “I did it simply to see if it could be done”. The lyrics to the song may have been seen as a veiled message to former member Roger Hodgson but Davies revealed in a French radio interview that the lyrics to “Cannonball” were inspired by a less than perfect concert promoter whom he refused to name but added that the guy knew who he was. The track became Supertramp’s last US Top 40 single to date peaking at #28 on the Billboard singles charts in the spring of 1985. It also crossed over to the dance charts, peaking at number nine.
