Central Rain (I'm Sorry)\" and \"The One I Love\" to \"Losing My Religion\" and \"Man On The Moon.\" Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills were joined by touring musicians Scott McCaughey on guitar, Ken Stringfellow on keyboards and Joey Waronker on drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReveal was the band's second album as a trio, after drummer Bill Berry left in 1997.
