Dave Pirner is still running at full throttle with Soul Asylum, and their latest record, Slowly But Shirley, proves that their musical engine has plenty of mileage left. Speaking with Kyle Meredith, Pirner discusses the band’s new album, their upcoming tour with The Juliana Hatfield Three (get tickets here!), and what it takes to keep the creative fire burning 40 years into a career. Listen now.
Slowly But Shirley sees Pirner reunite with producer Steve Jordan, who last worked with the band on 1990’s And the Horse They Rode In On. Jordan, who's been drumming for The Rolling Stones since 2021, helped the band strip back their sound to its raw essence.
Slowly But Shirley also draws inspiration from an unexpected source: Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney, a pioneering female drag racer who defied a male-dominated sport in the 1970s. Pirner explains his admiration for her audacity and determination, saying, “She’s always been kind of an idol of mine." Noting that as an avid Hot Wheels collector, he adds, “I finally got a Shirley Muldowney Hot Wheels, and that was a very special day for me.”
Listen to Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.
