Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum looks to the past, present, and future in this installment of Kyle Meredith With…. Currently, he’s out promoting the band’s new live album, Live from Liberty Lunch, Austin, TX, December 3, 1992, in addition to newly minted reissues of their first two studio albums, 1984’s Say What You Will… Everything Can Happen and 1986’s Made to Be Broken.
While the two dig into yesteryear, Pirner reflects on his appreciation for filmmaker Kevin Smith, the time he met Prince, and the backstory behind their ill-fated eighth studio album, Candy from a Stranger. It’s not all about nostalgia, though, and Pirner goes over what’s next for Soul Asylum, hinting at a follow-up to 2016’s Change of Fortune. Listen above.
