Juliana Hatfield Shares The Songs That Shaped Her Sound - ARTISTdirect Interviews

Juliana's response to the query "The song that encouraged me to learn my instrument of choice":

I picked up electric guitar years after acoustic guitar ..I was 9 or 10 when I started acoustic guitar lessons and was about 18 or 19 when I bought my first electric guitar. At that point I was inspired by early REM and the song “Radio Free Europe” was easy enough for me to figure out and that was really exciting…to realize that, “Hey, I can do this, too! I can do what REM is doing!”
