I love this song. I saw this band play at a bar parking lot somewhere on 7th St. when I lived in Charlotte,NC back in '99 or '00 not sure. Love their REMish sound.
This was a great song for them. I know most of them being from Charlotte NC. You're correct about the REM comparisons; their earlier incarnation, Hardsoul Poets did a lot of REM covers when they were students at Wingate. They opened for the band I played in once... They certainly evolved past that stage though...
the 90s was when music seriously started to suck, the beginning of the end. but there are always exceptions. Jolene was definitely an exception, one of only a few. they had been compared to REM, but these guys had so much more depth and better chops all around. i got a promo of Gloaming when i worked in a record store back then. don't know what happnd 2 it, wish i had it! Jolene came to my town (Chicago) and people dug 'em! finally heard Birdland last night. what ever happnd to these guys?
RIP Rodney Lanier, who lost his battle with Cancer late last night, 12/11/11

I miss Jolene so much! Too bad their label didn't follow through on their promises to them...they could have (and should have) been a big deal!
