Todd Newman and the Leatherwoods-To Win You Back
45, Reverb Jr. Records, 1988
Former Topekan and current Minneapolitan Todd Newman has made records for a variety of labels including Medium Cool, the Bus Stop Label, and Barber's Itch, sometimes using the Leatherwoods moniker, sometimes not. This 1988 45 on Cody Ochs's Reverb Jr. Records is typical of Todd's ability to take advantage of an opportunity; both songs contained lyrics that assured that they would never be played on the radio. Nevertheless, Mr. Newman has amassed a fine discography and can count Paul Westerberg amongst his collaborators and Gerard Cosloy amongst his fans. He's just a ridiculous guitar player; give him the cheapest crap guitar and a functioning amp, and he can work magic. Just ask Ed Rose.
