Westerberg, Stinson Together Again On 'Open Season'

Comments

On the heels of their surprise reunion to record two new songs for the recent Replacements best-of, Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson are together again on two songs from the "Open Season" soundtrack, due Sept. 26 via Lost Highway. The animated film, which features the voices of Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence, opens three days later.

The album includes 10 Westerberg originals, of which "Love You in the Fall" and "Right to Arm Bears" boast Stinson on bass. One Westerberg track each is performed by Pete Yorn ("I Belong [Reprise]") and Deathray ("Wild As I Wanna Be").

"Open Season" is rounded out by Deathray's "I Wanna Lose Control (Uh Oh)" and the Talking Heads' "Wild Wild Life." The score was penned by Westerberg and Ramin Djawad.

Westerberg first broke the news he was making a foray into film scoring in a 2004 Billboard.com interview. "I wouldn't like to do that as a regular job and do five movies a year and all that, but it's a viable ... alternative to touring," he said.

Here is the track list for "Open Season":

"Meet Me in the Meadow," Paul Westerberg
"Love You in the Fall," Paul Westerberg
"I Belong," Paul Westerberg
"I Wanna Lose Control (Uh Oh)," Deathray
"Better Than This," Paul Westerberg
"Wild Wild Life," Talking Heads
"Right To Arm Bears," Paul Westerberg
"Good Day," Paul Westerberg
"All About Me," Paul Westerberg
"Wild As I Wanna Be," Deathray
"Whisper Me Luck," Paul Westerberg
"I Belong (Reprise)," Pete Yorn
