Great American Music Hour|"South Central Rain" by Hemis Track Of The Week Episode
OurTrack Of The Weekis"South Central Rain"(yes, theR.E.M.song) by the band Hem.Less than two years ago, Hem self-released their first album,Rabbit Songs. The band quickly outgrew their cult following as critics fromEntertainment Weekly,Rolling StoneandNPR, among many others, praised the debut. TheNew York Timescalled them, "one of Manhattan's most promising...bands," andMagnetsaid, "American music doesn't get any better than this." This beautiful version os R.E.M.'s plaintivefolk rockmasterpiece wrings just as mush emotion out of the chorus ("I'm sorry") as the original did, albeit it in a quieter though no less intense way.
