"Knockin' On Mine" kicks off 14 Songs, the 1993 solo debut Paul Westerberg made once the Replacements had wound down after All Shook Down, and it's the lone survivor of a false start. Westerberg first tried cutting the record with former Georgia Satellites bassist Rick Price and drummer Josh Kelley, but the chemistry wasn't there and he went hunting for other players; this opener is the only track where the pair appear, Price adding mandolin to his bass.
Westerberg wrote it, sings it, plays the guitars, and produced and mixed it with Matt Wallace, who also engineered, with Susan Rogers pitching in. All four of them pile onto the backing vocals, and the song has the loose, grinning swagger of a guy who just got his own name on the marquee.
