From journalstar.com: On The Beat — Tommy Stinson returning to Lincoln after decades away By L. Kent Wolgamott It’s been years, actually decades, since Tommy Stinson’s played Lincoln. As in since The Replacements brought their chaotic rock ‘n’ roll to The Drumstick and the Nebraska Union in mid-to-late ‘80s. “There’s probably a really good reason…
“Tommy lays it down to the clowns at the Too Much Effing Perspective Show about the release of his new album “Wronger” with Cowboys in the Campfire; the time The Replacements pissed off Kiss’ Gene Simmons so badly that he walked out of their show; and how much fun it was to ride a mechanical bull with Axl Rose.”

Even so though, it can’t be denied that, when the man is on, artist is dead on the mark and that fact is illustrated fantastically on Wronger, Tommy Stinson’s first album with Chip Roberts under the name Cowboys In The Campfire.
