Dreams So Real
"Rough Night In Jericho"

Released in 1988

Dreams So Real was an alt rock band from Athens, Georgia who were very much part of the R.E.M. jangly guitar college rock sound of the 1980s.  This was their debut album and it's incredible.  I keep waiting to hear these songs again on the radio, but I haven't in decades.

Here are two more tracks to check out
