^^Good to know. I will give it a full listen soon.
Peter Lawrence Buck was born on this day in Berkeley, California, in 1956. He is the co-founder and lead guitarist of R.E.M. He too is a producer and has a couple of solo albums to his credit as well as appearing as a guest on the albums of a long list of other musicians. Aside from his guitar playing, he is known to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of music and to be the owner of a huge collection of records – around 25,000. He must have one helluva vinyl shed, lol!!
There is Michael Stipe’s distinctive presence, of course, but Peter Buck’s guitar work is largely responsible for a decided R.E.M. sound which is distinguishable even when he’s playing away from them; here, for example, with The Decemberists … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR9DjdMrpHg
I’m finding it quite shocking that Automatic for the People turns 25 this year!! Where did the time go??? Great album –
