Buy this, it's fantastic.

Paul and Tommy are performing a couple songs this evening out in LA at the premiere of the movie...interesting Mats news in the future perhaps?!

Anyways, 8 Westerberg performances as well as a Westerberg orignal "Wild As I Wanna Be" performed by Deathray (the studio said Paul sounded "sick" on his version...turns out he had a lung infection while recording it).

Tracklist:
1. (new PW song) "Meet Me in the Meadow" - Paul Westerberg
2. (new PW song) "Love You in the Fall" - Paul Westerberg
3. (new PW song) "I Belong" - Paul Westerberg
4. "I Wanna Lose Control (Uh Oh)" - Deathray
5. (new PW song) "Better Than This" - Paul Westerberg
6. "Wild Wild Life" - Talking Heads
7. (new PW song) "Right To Arm Bears" - Paul Westerberg
8. (from Eventually) "Good Day" - Paul Westerberg
9. (new PW song) "All About Me," Paul Westerberg
10. "Wild As I Wanna Be," Deathray
11. (new PW song) "Whisper Me Luck," Paul Westerberg
12. "I Belong (Reprise)," Pete Yorn
(version 2 of new PW song)

Here's the first single, "Love You in the Fall". Be warned, it's ridiculous how infectious this tune is!

It's a great soundtrack so go ahead, support Paul :)

"I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    Im sorry but paul westerberg writes the catchiest fucking music its insane. This is a great record.

    Right to arm bears is great
    "hail to the chief with a shotgun in his teeth"

    its obvious these are playful songs, but i think they can be separated from the movie. All very good. I belong is beautiful and whisper me luck is one of westerbergs most beautiful songs, right up there with lush and green

    oh kickass. finally, more awesome songs but decently recorded. i hate the throw away nature of his last few works.

    I agreee to an extent... Folker could have been a MUCH better album had he cleaned up his vocals. I understand the garage-rock feel of his basement recordings and I really like that concept, but he did a far better job with executing that in a quality way on Mono, and even Come Feel Me Tremble.

    It's definitely refreshing to hear some polished PW tracks, and these are absolute gold.
