The reformed Replacements picked Gordon Lightfoot's "I'm Not Sayin'" for Songs for Slim, their 2013 EP raising money for their former guitarist Slim Dunlap, and it fits Paul Westerberg like a well-worn jacket: a song about a guy who won't swear he can love you or stay true, only that he'll give it a shot.
Westerberg sings it and plays guitar, piano and tambourine, Tommy Stinson is on electric bass and backing vocals, Kevin Bowe adds guitar and harmonies, and Peter Anderson plays drums. Ed Ackerson produced and engineered it, and mixed it with Stinson.
