Paul Westerberg - Come Feel Me Tremble



This is a great documentary about Paul Westerberg's late solo career, following him around on his tour to promote Stereo/Mono. There's some intimate interviews and some clips of him recording new material in his basement for the album Come Feel Me Tremble. I really like his solo albums (mostly these 3). They could have been really bad, and I think most people were expecting them to be, but I think due to their rushed, immediate quality, they have a certain authenticity that a slicker studio album might lack. And then there's the genius songwriting. If I had to pick a mid-life music career, I'd want it to be like Paul's.
