"Love Untold" was the leadoff single from Eventually, Paul Westerberg's second solo album, released on Reprise on April 30, 1996, and it's one of the keepers from the record's false start. The album began in Atlanta with Brendan O'Brien producing, and those sessions went well enough to give up this song, but O'Brien was short on time and Westerberg needed more of it to write a full album's worth, so they parted ways and he regrouped with Lou Giordano.
What survives from Atlanta is a lean crew: Westerberg on vocals, guitar, organ and piano, O'Brien on bass and keyboards, Josh Freese on drums and percussion, and Nick DiDia engineering. Giordano and Westerberg mixed it, and it climbed to 21 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart that June.
