For half a decade, folk-rocker Wesley Harding Stace dropped his Dylan-inspired stage name and devoted himself to a successful second career as a novelist. WHO WAS CHANGED AND WHO WAS DEAD is Harding's comeback album, a crisp, rootsy set of typically clever, tuneful songs with wry lyrics. Guests include the Minus Five as his primary backing band, as well as Los Lobos saxophonist Steve Berlin. Also includes a bonus live greatest hits disc, DON'T LOOK BACK NOW, recorded in Brooklyn's Union Hall in 2008.
