Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d write in my lifetime: The Replacements debuted a new song today.The Replacements debuted a new song today. After months of lead-up, the band’s founders Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson have released their cover of “I’m Not Saying,” a Gordon Lightfoot song brought to Westerberg’s attention via Nico.

Yes, the Replacements are covering Nico, who was covering Gordon Lightfoot, and it all couldn’t be more appropriate for a band whose live shows famously combined original material with raucous covers. Their “I’m Not Saying” is part of the charity compilation Songs for Slim, which was recorded in honor of ailing ‘Mats guitarist Slim Dunlap.
