#Music, #SlimDunlap, #TheReplacements

It’s a Replacements kind of morning with my black coffee. This is the return to form reunion of sorts EP to benefit Slim Dunlap RIP. I personally enjoy this record. Great stuff.

The Replacements, Don’t Tell a Soul, 1989 on Sire / Reprise

This was the Replacements first album with Slim Dunlop replacing Bob Stinson on guitar. It was recorded in LA, produced by Matt Wallace and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, purportedly in an attempt to be more radio friendly, though Westerberg said he preferred the rougher approach of other ‘mats albums.

I think it’s a wonderful album – maybe a bit more “refined” than some of the noisier stuff, but Paul Westerberg’s songwriting is top notch here: “I’ll Be You,” “Talent Show,” and “Achin’ to Be” are among my favorites.

A lot of cool stuff is for sale, but under unhappy circumstances: An estate sale is being held this weekend of instruments/gear, ephemera, and memorabilia of Bob "Slim" Dunlap, guitarist for The Replacements between 1986 and the group's dissolution in 1991. Proceeds from the estate sale go directly to Dunlap and his family to cover ongoing medical expenses.
