So you are in one of the most influential and bombastic bands in the 80s...that happens to break up. What is a lead singer to do? Release an acoustic CD of course. So in 1989 Bob Mould, not only does that but it's also a LOST TREASURE of a CD.
In between Husker Du (yes named after the children's game) and Sugar, Bob Mould went solo and acoustic. The CD is called Workbook. It's his first solo CD and it is a must have. It's not your typical acoustic Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds kinda cd - no this one rocks. He assaults the guitar and if you've ever seen him live solo and acoustic you know just how bloody intense it is. Not really a "Sunday morning relax and have some coffee" acoustic cd no this is more like a "it's Thursday night and I'm thinking of starting the weekend off instead of waiting for Friday" acoustic CD. There are quiet and absolutely beautiful moments but still underneath it all is Bob fuming at something or someone.

If you'd like to read Bob Mould's Blog. It's Boblog. and he has a new DVD concert coming out called Circle of Friends. Should be a good one.
