''Folker'' is Paul Westerberg's sixth solo album. It peaked at number 178 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and number 18 on the Top Independent Album charts. ''Folker'' marks the final chapter in a trilogy of albums for the previous leader of The Replacements, which started back in 2002 with the release of the double album ''Stereo/Mono''. Much like that set, ''Folker'' was entirely written, produced and recorded by Westerberg in his basement studio, with the recording kept as simple and lo-fi as possible. Westerberg has stated in interviews that he wanted to create a folk album in the vein of Rod Stewart's earliest solo work, consisting of an acoustic bass with minimal instrumentation layered on top of the tracks. Westerberg shopped "Jingle" around to major retailers like Target and Best Buy for use in advertising, but they passed.〔(Rolling Stone Magazine article. "Westerberg Can't Sell Out".
