"Dyslexic Heart" was a 1992 release by Paul Westerberg, and he wrote every word and note of it himself. It's a scrappy, big-hearted rocker with a crooked grin, the kind of song that sounds tossed off until you realize how carefully it's been built. Kenny Aronoff plays the drums and John Pierce the bass, and Westerberg produced it with Scott Litt, who also did the mix, giving it just enough polish without scrubbing off the charm.
