April 11, 2006, 18 years ago
Billboard (www.billboard.com) has issued the following report from Katie Hasty:
SOUL ASYLUM will release its long-awaited new studio album this summer, the band's first in nearly eight years. The Silver Lining will arrive July 11th via Legacy and features some of the final recordings of late bassist Karl Mueller, who died of throat cancer last June.
Originally slated for a March release, The Silver Lining was co-produced by Steve Hodge and John Fields in Minneapolis.
"It will always remind me of Karl when I listen to it," group member Dan Murphy says. "He was really sick, but still pulled through and finished it in Soul Asylum fashion."Drummer Michael Bland contributed to the album as did (GUNS N’ ROSES, ex-THE REPLACEMENTS) Tommy Stinson, who stood in as bassist for two tracks ('Bus Named Desire' and 'Oxygen') and sang on four. According to a spokesperson, Bland and Stinson will join Murphy and vocalist Dave Pirner on a spring tour, which begins April 12th in Minneapolis and will run through August.
'Stand Up And Be Strong', the first track on the new album, is currently available on the band's MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/soulasylumofficial.
