Dreams So Real
Dreams So Real were an American alternative rock band from Athens, Georgia, who gained national exposure in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They recorded three albums, including two releases on Arista Records. History The trio was led by songwriter Barry Marler on lead vocals and guitar, with Trent Allen on bass and backing vocals and Drew Worsham on drums. Sheryl Crow guitarist Peter Stroud was a member during the band's later years.

Fiction
Fiction is any creative work, chiefly any narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places in ways that are imaginary or inconsistent with history, fact, or plausibility.William Harmon and C. Hugh Holman ''A Handbook to Literature'' (7th edition). New York: Prentice Hall, 1990, p. 212 In its most narrow usage, ''fiction'' applies to written narratives in prose and often specifically novels, as well as novellas and short stories. More broadly, however, fiction has come to encompass imaginary narratives expressed in any medium, including not just writings but also live theatrical performances, films, television programs, radio dramas, comics, role-playing games, and video games. Definition The creation of a work of fiction implies the construction of an imaginary world. Typically, the fictionality of the work is publicly acknowledged and the audience expects the work to deviate in some ways from the real world rather than presenting only factually accurate portra ...

Rough Night In Jericho (album)
''Rough Night in Jericho'' is the second album by Athens, Georgia, rock band Dreams So Real. Their first album for Arista Records, it was released in 1988. The band supported the album with a North American tour. The album reached No. 150 on the ''Billboard'' album charts, and the title track reached No. 28 on the ''Billboard'' Mainstream Rock chart. Critical reception ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' wrote that "songs like 'Bearing Witness' and 'City of Love' operate like mini-suites, complete with ecstatic peaks and tension-building valleys and lots of momentum (but no excess, as dictated by power-trio tradition) in between."

''Father's House'' is the debut album by the Athens, Georgia, rock band Dreams So Real. It was released by Coyote Records in 1986, and was produced by R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck. It was distributed by Twin/Tone Records. Critical reception ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' determined that "there are a few good, dreamy melodies here, but for the most part, this Southern rock band trades too heavily on its musical resemblance to R.E.M." ''The Washington Post'' wrote that, "if guitarist Barry Marler's Byrdsisms are too familiar ... the trio's consistent writing and playing make ''Father's House'' one of the more serviceable byproducts of the burgeoning folk-rock revival."
