Workbook (album)

Workbook is the 1989 debut solo album by American guitarist and singer Bob Mould, following the breakup of the influential punk rock band Hüsker Dü. The album has a strong folk influence and lighter overall sound than he had been known for, although heavy guitar features occasionally. Drummer Anton Fier and bassist Tony Maimone, both of Pere Ubu fame, served as Mould's rhythm section on the album and on the subsequent live shows. The single "See a Little Light" was a hit on the US Modern Rock chart.

Critical reception
The Philadelphia Inquirer opined that "Workbook stands among the most complete artistic statements to emerge this year... It does for introspection what Lou Reed's New York did for social awareness, and shares the feeling of catharsis John Lennon brought to 'How Do You Sleep?' and 'Gimme Some Truth' on Imagine." The Austin American-Statesman noted that "the emotionally draining album is littered with the charred remains of his former band, but the bitterness is framed with a sense of honesty and openness that's effectively reflected by Mould's singing." ==Track listing==
