Twitchy, agitated, ripped up, and the perfect balance of anticipatory verse lyrics with power chorus. Soul Aslyum ownsthis space. And nowhere is that more clear than the lead track of Grave Dancers Union. I WANT SOMEBODY TO SHOVE! I NEED SOMEBODY TO SHOVE! I WANT SOMEBODY TO SHOVE ME!!! One of my favorite songs of the entire decade. Sure, the 90s a...
Not released as a single until 1993, Black Gold bridged the alt-rock street fighter sound of Somebody to Shove with the 90s power balladry of Runaway Train. Some clever reverse delay techniques.
Runaway Train never going back. Runaway Train tearing up the track. And by track, Pirner meant "the charts". Runaway Train is the hit off Grave Dancers Union. Also, it was theanthem to the summer of 1993, with a powerful video to match, and received a Grammy in 1994. Soul Asylum has released a fair share of singles that have gotten airtime (and scr...
An absolute joy to pump in the tape deck of your everyday driver, or, 90s four door sedan. singing NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH! Garage rock solo. Slides, half-assed dive bombs, frantic sound. Idyllic for the times. Great choral vocals. Some sweet falsetto by Pirner before the big power outro.
Homesick is how the 90s did balladry: guitar chime, a few overdriven power chord chugs, and an upstroke acoustic chord to round out a verse or chorus. Is that a glockenspiel!?
Rock! Get on Out is good garage rock. Which Grave Dancers Union drummer is responsible for Get on Out, is it Grant Young or Sterling Campbell? Speaking of Grant Young, Tim Klobuchar wrote an interesting piece on what he was up to when he was fired from Soul Asylum.
A 90s rock album wouldn't be complete without a town and the drinking that happens there. New World is no different. Reminds me of a (every) Refreshments song of Fizzy Fuzzy
Is this the alt-rock version Bang Tango!? Kidding. Actually, April Fool fits nicely into 1992. Could have been an Ugly Kid Joe song.
Lesson #1 of Without a Trace is don't fall in love with a hooker. Ever. "I tried to dance at a funeral, New Orleans style, I joined the Grave Dancers Union, I had to file" Good bands find ways to pull an album's title from the content or the overall thematics of the album. Without a Trace was the fourth single released. It reached 27th on the Moder...
Big 70s style opening riff, into an Empire Records half-punk, half-power pop tune, that somehow features a few country guitar bends. A very enjoyable guitar solo. Who said they died with 80s hair metal!? While Growing into You is a decent tune, it's not in the same league as Growing on Me by The Darkness. But that's a tale for another day.

17. Juni 2012 · Musically, the song is acoustic throughout, even during the guitar lead by Dan Murphy with some Hammond organ added by sessionist Booker T. Jones III. The song also contains some of the most profound lyrics on the album; “And everything seems cut and dry, day and night, earth and sky, somehow I just don’t believe it…”

12. Feb. 2020 · There is one man who could have that line in his memoir, and that man is Booker T. Jones. Best known as keyboardist in Booker T. and the MGs, the multi-instrumentalist has been a force behind decades of popular music. He was an integral member of the Stax musical family, he was the producer behind Willie Nelson's Stardust, he even plays on Soul ...
