Hindu Love Gods was a short-lived American blues project basically consisting of three quarters of R.E.M. and Warren Zevon. Singer Bryan Cook was also involved. Formed in Athens, Georgia in 1984, the original line-up included Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Bill Berry (drums – then still with R.E.M. ), plus Warren Zevon on vocals and piano. This line-up released one single, "Narrator", without much success. Buck, Mills and Berry joined Zevon on his album Sentimental Hygiene (1987).

  • Hindu Love Gods was a short-lived American blues project basically consisting of three quarters of R.E.M. and Warren Zevon. Singer Bryan Cook was also involved. Formed in Athens, Georgia in 1984, the original line-up included Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Bill Berry (drums – then still with R.E.M. ), plus Warren Zevon on vocals and piano. This line-up released one single, "Narrator", without much success. Buck, Mills and Berry joined Zevon on his album Sentimental Hygiene (1987). During an all-night session using remaining studio time after the completion of Zevon's album, the four recorded ten cover songs, mostly blues standards. Although originally not intended for publication, these recordings were finally released by Giant Records on the album Hindu Love Gods (1990). The song that received the most attention was a rock version of Prince's 1985 hit "Raspberry Beret", which reached #23 on the Modern Rock charts. During a concert at The Shadow in Kansas City in December 1990, Zevon commented that the album was "selling by the shitload," whereupon one of his backing band informed him that it was "selling like shit."
  • Die Hindu Love Gods sind eine amerikanische Bluesrockband, die 1984 in Athens (Georgia) von den drei Instrumentalisten der Rock-Band R.E.M. Peter Buck (Gitarre), Mike Mills (Bass) und Bill Berry (Schlagzeug) sowie den Sängern Warren Zevon und Bryan Cook (Backing Vocals) gegründet wurde. In dieser Besetzung veröffentlichte die Band 1984 die wenig beachtete Single Narrator. 1987 erfolgte die Aufnahme des einzigen Albums der Band (ohne Bryan Cook), als nach Beendigung der Aufnahmen zu Warren Zevons Album Sentimental Hygiene noch einige Stunden Studiozeit zur Verfügung standen. Die Musiker nahmen bei einer Jam-Session zehn Cover Songs – fast ausschließlich Blues-Stücke – auf, die ursprünglich nicht zur Veröffentlichung geplant waren. Die Session wurde 1990 als Album mit dem Namen Hindu Love Gods veröffentlicht. Es erreichte Platz 168 der Billboard 200-Charts, wobei die Coverversion von Princes Raspberry Beret Platz 23 der Modern Rock Tracks-Radio-Charts erreichte.
