Carù consiglia2CD. Robert Bruce Dunlap, soprannominato Slim per la magrezza da giunco, fu il chitarrista dei Replacements di Paul Westerberg e alla fine dell'esperienza intraprese una carriera solista che consta di soli due album The Old New Me e times Like This. Dischi dimessi, secchi, essenziali e privi di pretese che sprigionano una combinazione di riff stonesiani, ricordi commossi di Bob Dylan, sprazzi di blues e scheletriche ballate metropolitane. Dunlap propone una musica che non dimentica le scariche elettriche dei Replacements, la sporcizia rigenerante di Exile on Main St., il serrato biascicare di Lou Reed, le carezze ai perdenti, le sfuriate dei Glimmer Twins, le serenate ubriache dei Faces e qualche scossone funky. Oggi i dischi vengono rimasterizzati e pootenziati con 22 bonus tracks inedite.
