In plain words,Tommy Stinsonis a great American musician. You can needle-drop at any juncture of the Minneapolis native's four-decade-plus career and find a moment of great significance. Stinson was a founding and lifetime member ofThe Replacements. He was a key second-generation ingredient inGuns N' Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. He also led two essential bands of his own - the aptly named Bash & Pop and Perfect.
 
Stinson's latest venture is called Cowboys in the Campfire - a duo with good pal Chip Roberts-- and its debut album, Wronger, is perhaps the most American album the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer has ever made.  Wronger's tracks ride a giddy trail of twang and grit, melody and (mostly lyrical) mayhem.
