...daughter of Nashville session man Fred Carter Jr. proves that her quadruple-platinum CD Did I Shave My Legs for This? was no fluke. Indeed, it was just a hint of Deana's daring, of her composing gifts and rangy taste: country, rock, power pop.

Up is R.E.M.'s first album since the band's longtime drummer, Bill Berry, left the group; his absence is present on more than a few tracks.
