abstract
  • %22E-Bow the Letter%22 is the first single from R.E.M.'s tenth studio album New Adventures in Hi-Fi. It was released in August 1996 just weeks before the album's release. During the same month, R.E.M. signed its then record-breaking five-album contract with Warner Bros. Records. Although it peaked at #4 on the UK Singles Chart, the highest any R.E.M. song charted in the UK until %22The Great Beyond%22 in 2000, the song fared less well in the United States, reaching only #49 on the Billboard Hot 100. It became R.E.M.'s lowest charting lead single since %22Fall on Me%22 released from Lifes Rich Pageant in 1986, when the band was on a smaller record label, I.R.S. Records.The song features American singer-songwriter and %22Godmother of Punk%22 Patti Smith performing backing vocals. Smith was cited as a major influence by band members Michael Stipe and Peter Buck and also provided backing vocals for %22Blue%22 the closing track on the band's final studio album Collapse into Now.
