À propos de cet audio
Based on a decade of research and reporting, hundreds of interviews (with family, friends, managers, producers, and musical colleagues), as well as full access to the Replacements' archives at Twin/Tone and Warner Bros. Records, author Bob Mehr has fashioned something far more compelling than a conventional band bio.
A roaring rock 'n' roll adventure, a heartrending family drama, and a cautionary showbiz tale, Trouble Boys is a penetrating work of biography and a major addition to the rock book canon.
Ce que les critiques en disent
The destruction. The volume. The cruelty. The charm. The songs. The songs. The songs. To live close to Paul Westerberg's material was to be lifted then bent by it. The songs were that good. Mehr shows us that no one, Westerberg included, knew quite what to do with it all. It was underrated, overrated, obsessed over, ignored never anything in the middle. But somewhere between the Replacements' path of destruction, epic but ultimately empty, and the beauty and honesty of Westerberg's writing, there was a band, a band whose story has for too long remained unknown and unknowable. This book gets us closer than we've ever been. Mehr brings us one of the great American rock n' roll stories and all the hurt that came with it.” Warren Zanes, author of Petty: The Biography and Revolutions in Sound: Warner Bros. Records The First Fifty Years
The Replacements spent a decade of their lives making some of the most emotive rock music never to hit the mainstream. Bob Mehr has spent a decade of his life researching their story. Balancing a fan's enthusiasm with journalistic perspective, he now delivers it in richly detailed and powerfully unvarnished form. Finally, the 'Mats get the book they deserve.” Tony Fletcher, author of Moon: The Life and Death of a Rock Legend and A Light That Never Goes Out: The Enduring Saga of the Smiths

The best music book you'll read all year. More than just rockers will love this raucous read It's a book about a band, but it's also the story of kids from damaged families who were saved to a point by rock 'n' roll. A must-read.”

Finally, the band gets the excellent, fully-formed biography it deserves A breezy read that sometimes stops you cold for the depth of sadness the band often existed in.”
Blurt, March 2016
Trouble Boys is a time trip back to the heady days when bands definitely mattered and record labels kinda sorta did If there is a sadder tale in rock n' roll, after reading Trouble Boys, I could not call it to mind.”
Record Collector, May 2016
With Trouble Boys Mehr has delivered what will surely be the definitive book about the band at the first attempt.”
