As detailed in the cop-fleeing shenanigans of "Run It", The Replacements lived for kicks. But Hootenanny was when the band first started branching out from their youthful hooliganism, turning up their noses at scene kids on flippant rave-ups like "Color Me Impressed" and showing their twangier sides on alt-country precursors like "Treatment Bound". Meanwhile, Paul Westerberg gave the first signs of the empathic songwriter he'd become on the yearning drum-machine ballad "Within Your Reach".
