	AMZ - March, 1999 - Paul Westerberg
		Since "Paul Westerberg" was one of the main songwriting forces of the band, his solo work continually reflects elements that were present in roughly 1981 when a bunch of Minneapolis kids got signed and started an underground punk/pop revolution smack in the middle of the 80’s Metal and British New Wave domination.
		Since their demise in 1989-1990, when the band disintegrated into the essentially solo album of “All Shook Down,” "Paul Westerberg" has continued to be a songwriter, spitting out solo albums every couple of years.
		Westerberg is a songsmith and most of the songs are just that - simple little numbers consisting of one primary idea or progression with a couple changes (which is the proven formula for a pop song).

		Paul, as in Westerberg, as in songwriter extraordinare, as in the composer of five solo albums.
		Westerberg’s profile of late has been decidedly low-key, insofar as any artist consistently delivering thoughtful, critically acclaimed work for the past few years can be.
		Plus, the project’s latest incarnation is a soundtrack showcasing 14 new tunes by the frontman—a solid collection of music that furthers the notion that this, indeed, is the work of an artist who can stand alone and ignore his influential past as he chooses.

		Under Sire/Reprise, Paul Westerberg was constantly having his music micromanaged and produced by people (Don Was) who were a mismatch for him.
		Westerberg sounds like a wise middle-aged man, or a redeemed alcoholic who put in his time at AA and now wants to share something with us, something which goes a long way towards telling us why he became an alcoholic to begin with.

	Paul Westerberg - Stero/Mono
		The Replacements, known for their drunken bravado and unpredictable live appearances, split in the early 90s; Westerberg went out on his own releasing three solo albums along the way to underwhelming critical acclaim - an icon scrutinized against the backdrop of his own mythology.
		Where Paul Westerberg ends and Grandpa Boy begins could best be answered by Grandpa Boy himself, but he won't, he'd sooner tell you to fuck off.
		After the Replacement's split, Westerberg became a bit of a shut-in, avoiding his fans and stonewalling hungry journalists angling to either canonize him as the second-coming of rock 'n' roll or paint him as yet another rock icon who sparked and fizzled.

	Paul Westerberg: Stereo Mono ---Ink Blot Magazine
		It was 1992, Seattle ruled the world, and Westerberg, as a man who knew a thing or two about emotive, intelligent, rough-edged rock 'n' roll (see: The Replacements), had been invited to contribute a couple of songs to the soundtrack of GrungeFilm Singles.
		It's come to my attention recently that some of you are still not fans of Paul Westerberg and his former band the Replacements.

	The Replacements and Paul Westerberg
		Eventually, singer/guitarist Paul Westerberg pretty much took over the band, writing and singing all the material and dominating their sound.
		Westerberg often croons in a gentle whisper that just highlights his voice's lack of personality, and the band doesn't do much even when it tries to vary its rock formula with, say, synthesizers (the dreary "Rock 'N' Roll Ghost").
		Westerberg's crisp, guitar-based rock craftsmanship is on display here once again; he just barely deviates from the usual 80s Replacements formula.

		Westerberg had been planning a solo project even before his band, the Replacements, imploded in 1991, but his first work under his own name comprised two tracks on the soundtrack of the 1992 "slacker" movie Singles.
		This was followed by 14 Songs, perceived by some critics to be a return to the punked-up glory days of Bob Stinson-era Replacements, and including "World Class Fad", a warning to the fast-living likes of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain.
		By 1996, however, Westerberg appeared to be ready to leave his punk days behind.

	Paul Westerberg
		In the '80s, Paul Westerberg was the leader of the shambolic Minneapolis punk band the Replacements and a gifted songwriter whose lyrical genius shone through his band's drunken concerts.
		By the late '90s, he had cleaned up his act, retreated from recording and performing and settled into the role of father to his young son.
		Behind a melody copped from Dylan's Positively Fourth Street, Westerberg reminisces of his father's last years, dying of emphysema, watching the Minnesota Twins with "a picture of his one and only grandson" on his dresser.

		Westerberg continues to prolifically expand his catalog in a rather blissfully coasting manner.
		But for fans of Westerberg that are looking for Replacements nostalgia, you can’t beat “Lookin Up In Heaven,” which is predestined to become a negligible Beatlesesque pop radio hit.

		Paul Westerberg's best work has always been about passion as much as craft, and that's been the biggest sticking point with his post-Replacements solo career.
		Dropped by his second major label and left to his own devices, Westerberg recorded Stereo in his basement, mostly in the middle of the night and with Westerberg providing all of the (minimal and mostly acoustic) musical accompaniment through the miracle of overdubbing.
		With more than its share of flubbed notes and technical mistakes (two songs are cut short when the tape runs out and Westerberg's young son makes an unscheduled appearance on "We May Be the Ones") and occasional goofs (most notably the cover of "Mr.

		Caveat emptor to any Paul Westerberg fan hoping the soundtrack to Come Feel Me Tremble (Vagrant), a documentary created during the man’s 2002 solo tour (which is being simultaneously released on DVD), contains live material: Sorry, you’re out of luck.
		The snarling “Pine Box” is Westerberg’s greatest-ever Rolling Stones move; his voice has never sounded stronger than on acoustic beauty “Meet Me Down The Alley”; and the clever, catchy “What A Day (For A Night)” ranks as one of his best folk-flavored songs.
		MAGNET reached Westerberg at his Minneapolis home to discuss baseball, touring without a band and why he’s suddenly so prolific.

		Once upon a time, Paul Westerberg was the reigning drunk prince of rock.
		Put in simpler terms, Paul Westerberg swearing off booze and going clean and sober was much akin to the Pope announcing his conversion to Scientology.
		No longer does Paul hide behind distorted guitars and an attitude equal parts manic-loneliness and cut-rate liquor; he now sings humbly and directly to the audience with few production values or middlemen involved (even playing all of the instruments on some tracks).

		Singer, songwriter and guitarist PAUL WESTERBERG is back with a new album, SUICAINE GRATIFACTION, his first for Capitol.
		The album--a stormy blend of rockers, acoustic guitar ballads and piano-and-vocal songs--features PAUL on guitars and piano, backed by such esteemed players as Don Was and keyboardist Benmont Tench.
		Talking about the album, PAUL says: "This is a dark record--you'd be hard pressed to find a joke on it, which might be the greatest departure, because there's always at least one joke on my records, but I don't think this one has one."
