LOVE this backstory - It is both inspirational and nostalgic for me, as I remember the REM cassette days and road trips around the south listening to this. My friends thought you weren't cool unless you had the early pre-Rolling-Stone-cover cassettes! The story that the record execs didn't think the mandolin-infused vibes would be a hit is inspiring to artists to just do what you do, embrace your vibe. Thanks for telling this story, looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for reading - and for your kind words. And you'll see many of the stories I share highlight how creative ideas are rejected all of the time!
