"Within Your Reach" turns up on the Replacements' 1983 album Hootenanny, and it's closer to a solo turn than a band track: the credits name Paul Westerberg as its only writer, singer and player. Peter Jesperson and Paul Stark produced it together with the band, and Steve Fjelstad engineered. What comes out is quiet and lonesome, one voice with a lot of empty space around it, and all the more affecting for how little it asks of you.
