Westerberg recorded a new album largely with session musicians, but was persuaded to release it as a Replacements album.

 ABBA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agnetha was noted by critics and songwriters as an accomplished composer but she considered it hard work, writing and performing light pop songs in the Schlager style, recording covers of hit songs and touring Swedish folkparks, the main "live circuit" at that time.
This album was less well-received by the critics but it spawned several hits, "The Name of the Game" and Take A Chance On Me", which both topped the UK charts.
This album also carried the well-known "Thank You for the Music" which was later released in the UK as a single (1983) and had been a B-side of "Eagle" in territories where that song was released as a single.

 ABBA biography - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The album did well and the Ring Ring single was a huge hit in many parts of Europe - but Stig felt that the true breakthrough would only be to have a UK or US hit.
This album was polished more highly than any so far, and represented a new level of accomplishment in both songwriting and studio work.
It is ironic that this, and the final album, The Visitors (1981) show a songwriting maturity and depth of feeling that is distinctly lacking on their earlier recordings.

 Sam Ulward Album Reviews: Replacements
For the period, the album feels sloppy even for a punk record, but the good songs are the ones that hold it together.
Keeping this in mind, the Replacements became unlikely heroes as they attracted their largest audience with this album, which for many was their introduction to the band.
I believe they did find their true melodic voices on the next two albums, but Let It Be is important as firstly, their breakthrough record, and more importantly, a demonstration of Westerberg's developing gifts as a songwriter.

The itinerant folksinger lifestyle was exemplified by Ramblin' Jack Elliott (additional info and facts about Ramblin' Jack Elliott), a disciple of Woody Guthrie who in turn influenced Bob Dylan (United States songwriter noted for his protest songs (born in 1941)).

 David Grier MP3 Downloads - David Grier Music Downloads - David Grier Music Videos
Recorded over a four day period, this album has the loose feel of a few friends hanging out and doing their own thing.
Grier, as always, is an endlessly inventive and tasteful soloist, and he seems comfortable whether playing blues as in "Lonnie and Maybelle" or jazz in "Ragtime Annie." As on his previous albums, he shares solo space equally with his guests.
The tunes penned by Grier, "Red Haired Boy" and "Cascade," fit comfortably with the traditional ones like "Lonesome Road Blues." Hootenanny's approach is more casual, off-the-cuff, than his previous recordings for Rounder, and perhaps that is why it was released on his own label, Dreadnought.

The musical evidence of their creative importance was there on the first album, eighteen songs following the usual loud/fast/cynical rules with titles like "Shutup," "Kick Your Door Down," "I Hate Music" and "Shiftless When Idle." But a slow, bluesy ode to J. Thunders, "Johnny's Gonna Die," showed depth beyond their years.
Whether Don't Tell a Soul is a strong album with a few clunkers or a weak album with some great songs, the Mats' previous glories tinge the record with disappointment.

The album shows how diverse the band was, as they are equally good at tackling punk ("We're Coming Out"), catchy pop-rock ("I Will Dare"), and ballads ("Answering Machine").
The only problem with the album is there are a few tracks that are needless and annoying filler.
I don't have the vocabulary to express how important this album was [and is] to me. When you're young, confused, angry, in unrequited love, fearful of the future but dissatisfied with the present, and anxious to get on with it, or any combination of these feelings, this album is a salvation.

The album became an early touchstone for alt-country types like chanteuse Kelly Hogan, who convinced Bloodshot Records to release Poor Little Knitter on the Road, a tribute album featuring Robbie Fulks, Trailer Bride, and Old 97's.

The Replacements half-heartedly tried to expand their reach on Hootenanny, and they followed through on that album's promise on Let It Be.
Kicking off with the country-rock shuffle of "I Will Dare," the record explodes into a series of pseudo-hardcore ravers before hitting Paul Westerberg's piano-driven rumination, "Androgynous," one of four major ballads that cuts to the core of Midwestern suburban alienation.
