Rhino's remastered & expanded deluxe edition also features seven bonus tracks, six of them previously unreleased. A garage-punk classic, 1983's Hootenanny was The Replacements' third release and second album for Twin/Tone. Featuring the group's legendary founding line-up-lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars (drums) and brothers Bob and Tommy Stinson (guitar and bass, respectively)-on signature 'Mats' classics including 'Color Me Impressed' and 'Within Your Reach,' the brash and stylistically sprawling disc charted the group's growing stature and genre-smashing abandon.
