Product Description
CD Description
Fans of '80s alt-rock were understandably disheartened whenthe Replacements decided to call it quits in 1991, just as the genre had finally begun assaulting the upper regions of the US charts. But Replacements' singer/guitarist Paul Westerberg wasted little time issuing his first solo work, contributing two songs ("Dyslexic Heart" and "Waiting for Somebody") to the 1992 mega-hit motion picture soundtrack, SINGLES. Due to that album's success, many predicted Westerberg's commercial breakthrough with his debut album 14 SONGS a year later.
While the album didn't prove the big hit everyone anticipated, it still includes some memorable pop songs, with the slightly rough edges that only Paul Westerberg can create. Those expecting 14 SONGS to sound like the Replacements in their pissed-off prime may be disappointed, but it's hard not to appreciate the tarnished pop of "World Class Fad", the Stonesy "Silver Naked Ladies", and the punk rockers "Someone I Once Knew" (with guest Joan Jett) and "Something Is Me".
