After the Replacements disbanded, singer-songwriter and alt-rock icon Paul Westerberg went on to an acclaimed solo career, first with two songs on the Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack in 1992, and then with his revered 1993 solo debut, 14 Songs. Over the course of his subsequent albums, the legend of Westerberg's stellar songcraft and ragged and brilliant peformances grew exponentially. For the first time, highlights of his post-Replacements work-including his Grandpa Boy incarnation-are collected on a single, inspired disc, with the added bonus of three previously unissued rarities in the mix!

2002 release from the amazing Westerberg (who disbanded his group The Replacements in 1991). The 12 tracks for Stereo were written and recorded at home over a two-year period, no effort was made to fix mistakes like tape running out, fluffed lyrics flat notes etc. The second CD is his aka Grandpa Boy and called Mono, 11 tracks. Gatefold digipak.

With the success of previous records "Come Feel Me Tremble" and "Stereo/Mono", Westerberg is back with a new full length studio album. "Folker" contains 13 brand new songs Paul produced and recorded in his basement in Minnesota. This album is a continuation of the prolific songwriting that has made him one of the most influential artists of his generation.

12 tracks including AIN`T GOT ME.  

Few artists have been so revered and so lambasted simultaneously as Paul Westerberg. That's what happens when you front one of the greatest rock bands of the '80s (the punkish, youthfully disillusioned Replacements) and then can't reach such lofty heights again. Finally, with Suicaine Gratifaction, Westerberg stops trying to be that renegade rocker. Instead, his third solo effort is practically adult-sounding, a mostly somber collection of sweetly ragged folk and rock (often piano-based) that reveals the 38-year-old songsmith more comfortable in his own artistic skin than maybe anytime previously. Thankfully not too comfortable, for Westerberg is wondrous when sounding wounded and worn, which is often the case on this demon-confronting effort. The mostly solid Suicaine Gratifaction is maybe his best effort in a dozen years. --Neal Weiss
