In 1996, he released his second solo album, titled Eventually , which was tepidly received by critics and had modest sales. It yielded the alternative radio hit “Love Untold.” Westerberg parted ways with Reprise Records, and the following year chose to release songs that were more blues -influenced and less slickly produced under the name Grandpaboy. An EP and single were released by indie label Soundproof/Monolyth Records. His third album, Suicaine Gratifaction , is a piano-driven, melancholy, and highly personal work that was released on Capitol Records in 1999. The label was undergoing reorganization and the album was given minimal promotion. Westerberg appeared on a fifth-season episode of The Larry Sanders Show (entitled “Larry’s New Love”) performing “Ain’t Got Me” from Eventually . The episode first aired on February 26, 1997. Westerberg also performed the song that same year on The Tonight Show hosted by Jay Leno .
