Details Release Date: Sep 26, 2006; Lead Performance: Paul Westerberg; Genre: Soundtracks

Westerberg indulges his sentimental streak on Open Season's soundtrack. Still, his yearning, damaged way with a melody shines, and there are rowdy echoes of his old band, the Replacements. Plus, there's something comforting about the hard-bitten artist singing ballads about bears.
