Jesus Wept by P.M. Dawn
Jesus Wept is an album by P.M. Dawn, released in 1995. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Downtown Venus”, on 7 lists with a best position of #1419.
Jesus Wept, the third album from P.M. Dawn, came out on Gee Street in October 1995, and it's the brothers Cordes, Attrell as Prince Be and Jarrett as DJ Minutemix, drifting even further from what anybody expected of a hip-hop act. The Jersey City duo had always blended hip-hop with old soul and pop-leaning R&B; this record leans all the way into the dreamy side.
"Downtown Venus", built on a sample of Deep Purple's "Hush", was the highest-charting single, reaching No. 48 on the Hot 100 and crossing over to alternative radio, where it climbed to No. 39 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album couldn't match the success of the first two records, but it drew strong reviews despite the weak sales.
