Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum joins Eric in conversation. We talk about his early days growing up, discovering the trumpet, the guitar and songwriting. We talk about the early days of Soul Asylum, the punk scene in Minneapolis where they found their footing. What was it like going from that scene and Twin Tone to the larger stages of the world and the major labels?  How have lineup changes and his move to New Orleans affected his songwriting and influenced their new record, Change of Fortune.
