With now classic songs including Takin A Ride, Shiftless When Idle, Customer and Johnnys Gonna Die, the Mats legendary founding line-up of lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars (drums) and brothers Bob and Tommy Stinson (lead guitar and bass, respectively) unleashed a shambling, dynamic sound.
