The Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray

After numerous line-up changes and independent releases Boston’s Lemonheads signed to Atlantic Records for 1990’s Lovey. It was with that record that Evan Dando began to move from Replacements style punk-pop into more gentle and jangly territory, and it’s here, on It’s A Shame About Ray, that he perfects his vision and launches the Lemonheads into international stardom. Featuring Blake Babies member Juliana Hatfield, It’s A Shame About Ray, is one of the hookiest and catchy records of the “alternative” era and holds up now as a jangle-pop classic alongside anything from "Eight Miles High" to R.E.M.'s Lifes Rich Pageant.
