An
outtake from the
R.E.M. album "
Murmur". It consists of the instrumental tracks from "
Seven Chinese Brothers" plus an off-the-wall
vocal by Michael Stipe, satirizing (apparently) the
gospel music industry.
The title comes from a chorus that goes something like this:
"The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold
Montgomery
gives a special
interpretation to the grand
old hymn The Old Rugged Cross."
Anyway, the band included this thing of nought on the album Dead Letter Office.
