And now from R.E.M. fellow travellers. They supported them on early tours. Here's Dream Syndicate, from their splendid comeback record of last year, How Did I Find Myself Here? This, the final track of the album, is dedicated to, and a collaboration with Kendra Smith, the bassist of the original band unit. After her adventures with them, and her time with David Roback and the splendid Opal, she became something of a recluse, living off the grid in rural isolation . This track brought her back into the fold, at least momentarily and it's a haunting and evocative close to the record. Life as a living dream.
