Released in 1983, Hootenanny is the second album from The Replacements. Recorded in a warehouse just outside the band’s hometown of Minneapolis, the record is a loose and energetic affair, moving easily between fast-paced material such as “Take Me Down to the Hospital” and “Color Me Impressed” as well as the ballad “Within Your Reach.” We’ll hear music from that recording on this episode as well as music from Friday Night Is Killing Me, the 1993 debut album from former Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson’s band Bash & Pop. Despite some critical accolades and a positive fan reaction, Stinson would not record under the Bash & Pop moniker again until 2017.
