Paul Westerberg returns… for $0.49!
The once and always Twin Cities bard of broken bottles and broken hearts is finally set to resurface - essentially for the first time in almost two years - tomorrow.
Details are cloudy but on Saturday, July 19 (a/k/a June 49) the former Replacements frontman and acclaimed singer/songwriter promises to deliver 49minutes of new music for $0.49. Sounds like a good sum for this economy-strapped summer.
Check the semi-official Westerberg page tomorrow and see where one of America’s greatest natural musical resources is taking us next:
In other Westerberg news, Rhino just announced the final four Replacements albums (Tim, Pleased To Meet Me, Don’t Tell A Soul and All Shook Down) are set to hit the shelves as reissues on September 23, fully remastered and bolstered by bonus tracks.
