Album Notes
Hindu Love Gods: Warren Zevon, Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills.
The Hindu Love Gods were essentially R.E.M. with Warren Zevon replacing Michael Stipe as front man. Always somewhat of a joke, the quartet did manage to release a self-titled album of cover songs that they had recorded in 1987 with leftover studio time. Loose and spirited, the group tackles a range of off-the-cuff covers that could be throwaways but for the sheer talent and charm of the players. Indeed, their spirited rendition of Prince's "Rasberry Beret" even made the charts in 1990. A pair of Robert Johnson-penned blues classics and Muddy Waters's "Mannish Boy" are attempted with similar aplomb. HINDU LOVE GODS is a rare kind of supergroup album: good-natured, unpretentious, irreverent, inebriated, and ultimately essential.

Editorial Reviews
3.5 Stars - Very Good - ...Zevon and R.E.M. surprisingly but happily collide--and the result is a rollicking party, loose, bluesy and irresistible...it's real roots rocking...
Rolling Stone (11/29/1990)

...Further proof that what makes a garage band great isn't chops, but heart....
Musician (01/01/1991)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...Reeking of smoke, sweat and bourbon, this is one hell of a barroom blues work out...
Q (01/01/1991)

3 Stars - Good ...The Gods must still be crazy after all this time...
Down Beat (02/01/1991)
