According to Rolling Stone, Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson reunited for the first time since 2006 to record a covers EP to benefit their former bandmate Slim Dunlap, who suffered a stroke in February. The two were joined in the studio by guitarist Kevin Bowe and drummer Peter Anderson — Replacements drummer Chris Mars chose not to participate. The band recorded Dunlap’s solo song “Busted Up,” “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” from the Broadway musical Gypsy, Gordon Lightfoot’s 1965 song “I’m Not Sayin’,” and “Lost Highway” by Hank Williams.

The songs will be released as a 10-inch vinyl EP later this year. Only 250 copies will be pressed and auctioned off to the highest bidder, and all proceeds will benefit Dunlap. (via CoS)
