The introspective acoustic ballad, a long-time fan-favourite, finally makes its studio debut after being a staple of their live performances. \u201cIt\u2019s built from experience and pain and shame,\u201d<\/em> Pirner quips. \u201cThe joke’s always on me, let’s just put it that way. Everyone makes mistakes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaming up once again with producer Steve Jordan<\/strong> (known for his work with the Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Robert Cray, Keith Richards), who worked on their 1990 album \u2018And the Horse They Rode In On\u2019<\/em>, Soul Asylum recorded live at the Terrarium in Minneapolis, capturing an authentic and vibrant sound.<\/p>\n\n\n

The album’s title and cover pay homage to Shirley \u201cCha Cha\u201d Muldowney<\/strong>, a pioneering drag racer who inspired Pirner during his youth. \u201cWhen I was a kid, I loved drag racing,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd she was the first woman of drag race. It meant a lot to me that she was willing to stand up against all these men in racing. My manager called her up, and she gave us her blessing, which means a whole lot to me because she was a childhood hero.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pirner, <\/strong>widely recognized as one of the one of the great American songwriters, is celebrating the four-decade legacy of Soul Asylum, a journey highlighted by their breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union<\/em>, which achieved double platinum status and featured the Grammy-winning hit “Runaway Train.” Despite challenges and changes, the band has remained a vital force in the rock scene, continually evolving while staying true to their roots. \u2018Slowly But Shirley\u2019<\/em> is a testament to their enduring spirit and creative prowess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current\u00a0Soul Asylum<\/strong>\u00a0line-up features\u00a0Dave Pirner<\/strong>\u00a0as lead vocals\/guitar,\u00a0Michael Bland\u00a0<\/strong>on drums,\u00a0Ryan Smith<\/strong>\u00a0on lead guitar, and\u00a0Jeremy Tappero<\/strong>\u00a0on bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
