"Back to Back" turns up on Don't Tell a Soul, the Replacements' 1989 album, a Paul Westerberg song through and through: he wrote both the words and the music. The band co-produced it with Matt Wallace, and Chris Lord-Alge handled the mix, which goes a long way toward explaining the sheen. The old basement racket has been scrubbed and polished for the radio here, the guitars bright and the drums big, but the song underneath still has Westerberg's knack for a hook that aches.
