And the Horse They Rode In On, Soul Asylum's fifth album, came out on A&M in 1990, and it's the Minneapolis band still swinging for the fences before most of the world was paying attention. Dave Pirner, Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller and drummer Grant Young play like a bar band with punk in its blood and big, ragged choruses in its heart, all loud guitars and louder hope.
"Spinnin'" was the first single, with "Something Out of Nothing" and "Easy Street" showing off the band's tougher and tenderer sides. They hauled it across North America on tour, and it even came with different cover art for vinyl, cassette and CD. Like the records before it, it didn't sell much, but two years later Grave Dancers Union blew the doors open.
