Come Feel Me Tremble, Paul Westerberg's fifth solo album, turned up on Vagrant in October 2003, and like Stereo before it, it's the former Replacements frontman alone at home with the tape rolling. No band, no big-label polish, just ragged guitars and that sandpaper voice, and the roughness is the point.
The songs dig deeper than the sound lets on. "Crackle & Drag" is about Sylvia Plath, its title lifted from the final line of her poem "Edge", written by a man struck by how calmly she got ready for her own death; it appears both in its loud first take and a quieter alternate. "Pine Box" looks at what World War II did to Westerberg's father, and "What a Day (For a Night)" was written for Bonnie Raitt, who passed on it. "Making Me Go" is the scruffy rocker that caught radio's ear. Reviews were mostly warm, and Folker followed.
