Paul Westerberg - Besterberg: the Best of Paul Westerberg (Audio CD 2005) Import

Description: [DOS-CWW1A149-5Z-9325583028489] New! ----- from New York's Largest Selection of Entertainment Media Since 1976! At this point, Paul Westerberg has been plying his trade as a solo artist for far longer than he fronted the late, lamented Replacements, and this 20-song set provides an intriguing look at the rolling career path he's charted on his own. Fittingly, Besterberg resonates with an unmistakable restlessness, documenting its creator's desire to be seen as a mature singer-songwriter as well as a punk graduate with an unreconstructed love for messed-up rock 'n' roll. The former vibe is more evident in earlier offerings, like the wrenching mid-'90s ballad "Love Untold" and the previously unreleased lost-romance musing "All That I Had." On a similar note -- at least in terms of bummed-out mindset -- "Let the Bad Times Roll" evokes the defeatist tone of Westerberg's most introspective 'Mats material. He recalls that band's tenor more often, naturally, on rockers like the cautionary flame-out stomp "World Class Fad" as well as the raggedly raunchy -- and unabashedly joyful -- "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon," which makes its first appearance here. The set is peppered with hard-to-find ditties, some of which merit unearthing -- like his Singles soundtrack contribution "Dyslexic Heart" -- and some of which might've been best left buried, like a mordant cover of the Beatles' "Nowhere Man." As with any artist with a following as rabid as Westerberg's, there might be some quibbling over the track listing -- but Besterberg strikes a balance between standards and oddities that should prove pleasing to all but the most cynical.
