└────────┘
Guitarist/singer/songwriter Bob Mould was initially a member of Hⁿsker Dⁿ,
one of the most influential American bands of the '80s. Husker Du was a
post-hardcore punk band that helped define the sound and ideals of
alternative rock. After Husker Du broke up, Mould signed a solo contract
with Virgin Records in 1988. The following year he released his first solo
album, "Workbook", which represented a major shift in sonic direction.
"Workbook" was an introspective collection, featuring keyboards, acoustic
guitars, and even strings. The album received excellent reviews and spent
14 weeks on the charts, peaking at 127; "See a Little Light" became a Top
Ten modern rock hit. Mould returned to loud, guitar-driven rock on his
second solo album, 1990's "Black Sheets of Rain".
Arriving after years of sonic bombast in Husker Du, the reflective,
acoustic nature of Bob Mould's first solo album, "Workbook", was a bold
statement of renewal. Like all of Mould's work, it's an intensely
introspective record, finding him purging demons left over from the
dissolution of Husker Du. Instead of relying on raging guitars, Mould
explores a wide variety of styles, from pure pop ('See A Little Light') to
reflective folk laced with cellos. It's an astonishing array of styles, and
the songs are among Mould's finest. For many observers, the record
established him as a major songwriter, but it also established a way for
underground post-punk artists to mature - echoes of Workbook could be heard
throughout the '90s, from R.E.M.'s elegiac Automatic for the People to
Nirvana's use of cellos on In Utero and Unplugged. But "Workbook" remains a
stunning work of individuality, marrying a distinctive body of songs with
an original musical vision. Occasionally, the production is a little too
pristine, but the power of the songs cannot be diminished.
First UK release of this special edition 2CD tri-fold digipak remaster of
Bob Mould's classic and iconic debut album "Workbook". The great
alternative rock band Husker Du split up in 1987, and two years later, Bob
MouldÆs first solo album appeared to great acclaim. All songs were written
by Mould, and he also produced the album and played many of the
instruments. The original 11 tracks of the album are supplemented by the
bonus track "All Those People Know" - the non-album b-side of the single
release "See A Little Light" - and a second CD containing the complete 1989
performance at Chicago's Cabaret Metro. Four of these tracks had appeared
as b-sides, but this bonus disc delivers the whole great show recorded two
weeks after the original album release. Tracks include Husker Du favourites
"Hardly Getting Over It", "Celebrated Summer", and "Makes No Sense At All".
Full liner notes, plus an extra contribution by Ryan Adams.
