And the Horse They Rode In On is an album by the Minneapolis band Soul Asylum, released in 1990. [1] [2] The vinyl, cassette, and CD versions of the album have different, but related, cover art. The band supported the album with a North American tour. [3] The first single was "Spinnin'". [4]
The album was produced by Steve Jordan. [5] The majority of it was recorded live on an A&M sound stage in Los Angeles, and finished in Cannon Falls. [6] [7] The band decided to record what they felt like, rather than worry about a consistent style. [8] Soul Asylum spent so much time recording that they collected several outtakes. [9] "We 3" is about an eternal triangle. [10] "Nice Guys (Don't Get Paid)" is about drug dealing. [11]

The Windsor Star wrote that "'Gullible's Travels' is one of the best half-dozen rock tracks of the year." [18] The Vancouver Sun determined that Soul Asylum "have channelled their hardcore angst and drunkards-on-skateboards mentality into some of the freshest and most melodic songwriting around." [17]
The Dallas Morning News stated that the band "maintains its tradition of combining tightly flexed funk rhythms, sharp melodies, raggedly tuneful guitars and rough, passionate vocals." [19] The Richmond Times-Dispatch noted that "All the King's Friends" "impressively welds a '60s-sounding rock melody to an almost speed-metal structure." [20]
All songs written by Dave Pirner unless otherwise noted.
