The American blues band Hindu Love Gods formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1984. The original line-up was Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass), Bill Berry (drums)—all three of them members of R.E.M.—and Warren Zevon (vocals/piano) and Bryan Cook (background vocals). This line-up released one single, "Narrator," without much success. Buck, Mills and Berry joined Zevon on his album Sentimental Hygiene. During an all night (and supposedly drunken) studio session, the four (without Cook) recorded the album Hindu Love Gods, consisting of ten cover songs. The result of this session was released in 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.
