A single review digs into the self-titled Hindu Love Gods album: a set of blues-heavy covers tracked in 1987 by R.E.M.’s trio with Warren Zevon. The write-up praises its raw, energetic feel, highlights cuts like Travelin’ Riverside Blues, Mannish Boy, and a cheeky blues spin on Raspberry Beret, and notes a faithful Vigilante Man.
