Last album =
This album = "14 Songs" (1993)
Next album = "Eventually " (1996) |"14 Songs" is the first official solo album from
Paul Westerberg , former leader ofThe Replacements . In many ways, it's his second solo album, given that the final Replacements album, "All Shook Down ", was heavily packed with session musicians and marginalized the other three band members.The album features contributions from
Ian McLagan , former keyboardist for the Faces, a band that Westerberg has often cited as a favorite.In an interview included with a special edition of the album, he explained that he started the record jamming with drummer Josh Kelly and former Georgia Satellites bassist Rick Price, but found that the combination wasn't working, requiring him to seek other players. (The only song featuring Kelly and Price is the opener, "Knockin' On Mine.") He also revealed that the album title was a reference to "Nine Stories", by
J.D. Salinger .Track listing
