The Connells hailing from Raleigh North Carolina put together a string of great albums, mostly played on college radio in the 1980s and into the 1990s.  Early on, when they were getting regular play on MTV, they were favorably compared to REM because they were from the south and played great guitar with songs full of nice harmony.

Their album Boylan Heights should be in your collection – it is one of the best I own.

Scotty’s Lament is from that album.
