Don't Go Back To Rockville - R.E.M. (acoustic cover) | Taylor GS Mini
I covered "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" by R.E.M. on acoustic guitar. A song I've always wanted to play — one of my favorites from their early years. ■ About the song: "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" was released in 1984 as the second single from R.E.M.'s second album "Reckoning". Though credited to all four members, the song was actually written by bassist Mike Mills. Originally played in a fast, punk-like style, it ended up on the record in the country-tinged arrangement we all know — and it has remained a live favorite ever since. ■ Why I chose it: I've loved this Mike Mills-penned song since I first got into R.E.M.'s early albums. It was always a highlight of their live shows, and covering it on acoustic guitar has been on my wish list for a long time. ■ Guitar: Taylor GS Mini Koa ■ Special Thanks: to Mr. Tetsuya Kamimori for his performance advice on this cover. ■ Credits Song: (Don't Go Back To) Rockville Artist: R.E.M.
