Almost 30 years after it was recorded, a great long lost record album is seeing the light of day. Bleeding Hearts “Riches to Rags” is a remarkably solid collection of rock ’n’ roll songs featuring the guitar work of Bob Stinson, lead guitarist and founding member of the Replacements. Bob Mehr, who wrote the definitive Replacements biography Trouble Boys, describes Riches to Rags” as “the final piece to the puzzle of Bob Stinson’s musical career"
The album was recorded in Minneapolis in 1993. Bleeding Hearts was the brain child of Mike Leonard who befriended Bob Stinson at a particular low point in Bob’s life when they were both regulars at the Uptown Bar. They became roommates, and as Mehr details (Mike was) “exactly ten years younger than Stinson, The two played together daily, roughhoused like little kids, rehearsed with the band five times a week, and listened to music the rest of the time.” The end result of all this activity was a tight well-crafted set of high energy rock tunes that owed a debt to the Replacements and showed once again what a stellar guitar player Bob Stinson was.
