Bob Mehr- Trouble Boys: The True Story Of The Replacements

Label: Da Capo Press

Released 2017

The epic biography of one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time, the Replacements. Based on a decade of research, hundreds of interviews, and written with the participation of the group's key members—including reclusive singer–songwriter Paul Westerberg, bassist Tommy Stinson, and the family of late guitarist Bob Stinson—Trouble Boys was hailed as an instant classic rock biography, a deeply intimate and nuanced portrait exposing the primal factors and forces that shaped one of the most brilliant and notoriously self–destructive groups of all time. A roaring rock 'n' roll adventure, a heartrending family drama, and a cautionary showbiz tale, Trouble Boys is a penetrating work and a major addition to the canon.
