The Quintessential Minnesota Song

Interested in all the great music from Minnesota -- from Dylan to Prince to The Jayhawks to Husker Du and MORE, I asked Twin Cities musician Kraig Johnson (Run Westy Run, Iffy, The Jayhawks, The Project) for his thoughts on the quintessential Minnesota song.  "I think of a song I heard when I was driving in my car the other day, is 'I Will Dare' by The Replacements.  Because, to me, that record, it just brings me back to a certain time, that year and everything.  And, I just thought it still just sounds so good to me, that song, you know?  It always will bring me back to Minneapolis and that time.  And, I heard it in my car the other day, and it put a smile on my face.  Oh, I love the intro to this!  And, there it is, you know?"
