Paul Westerberg has released him most recent album entitled 14 Songs.

Paul Westerberg has been a heavy hitter in the Rock genre for quite a while now and 14 Songs is an excellent illustration as to why.

14 Songs is a pleasantly varied, mix of 14 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Overall 14 Songs is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 5 – Dice Behind Your Shades, track 8 – A Few Minutes Of Silence, and track 14 – Down Love

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Knockin On Mine. It’s a great track!
