Paul Westerberg
Susan Whitall, San Francisco Chronicle, 5 May 1996
AS FORMER LEAD singer and songwriter of the Replacements, Paul Westerberg labors under particularly burdensome expectations. His second solo album, Eventually, released last month on Reprise, follows 1993's critically lauded 14 Songs. But fans of the Minneapolis-based Replacements still hope the band will reunite, even though founding member Bob Stinson died last year.
