R.E.M.’s Peter Buck has been part of the indie-music landscape for more than two decades, ever since 1981, when his then-scrappy band from Athens, Georgia, put out their first 45, "Radio Free Europe." Longer, really, if you count his days as a record-store clerk and fan.
In interviews and conversations Buck hardly ever fails to mention a new band, rare singles, or a foreign sound he’s just fallen upon, often proselytizing with the same fervor white blues artists had for their African-American idols in the 1960s.
Meanwhile, Buck says he and his Fast Horse partners have been speaking to many artists, but what’s certainly on the schedule is a live Tuatara disc and another album from Davis.
