Well, this is a pleasant surprise. The always-enigmatic Paul Westerberg, of Replacements fame, released his first new music in two years today. “My Road Now” is a string-laden piano ballad that gets off to a typically disjointed start, but settles in nicely. We don’t know anything about whether an album is in the works – there was no forewarning for this release; it first popped up at I Will Dare – but with Westerberg you never know. Hear and download “My Road Now” below.
