	Ink 19 :: Dave Pirner
		And Pirner, ever the craftsman, both delivers and moves beyond the expectations, proving himself to be a surprisingly mature and exploring artist within such a fundamentally informal setting.
		And if the album seems to move in every direction, it is a testament to Pirner's talents that he manages to hold it all together, to bring a unique and personal touch to the album.
		Pirner, quite simply, sounds as if he had great fun doing this, and the album's Americana/soul approach feels genuine and respectful, steering well clear off either pastiche or sheer, lazy trend-jumping.

		Dave Pirner became the object of tabloid fascination when he was dating Winona Ryder.
		Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy asked Mueller what he wanted to do, and even though he was ill and knew he’d be too sick to tour, he said he liked the new songs and wanted to make a record.
		He sat down with Pirner and Murphy and told them he thought some of the songs needed to be re-recorded, a few new songs might be needed, and that he hated some of the mixes.

		On his first solo album, Dave Pirner delves farther into the classic-rock cannon than he ever managed to as the frontman and main songwriter in the Minneapolis band Soul Asylum, and he brings to mind the white soul of Eric Clapton.
		Pirner’s lyrics draw you into a stream-of-conscious-like realm filled with failed relationships, desperate love, and the fight for survival in everyday life.
		The heavier, mid-tempo "364" is well served by Pirner’s raspy vocals; the lovely piano ballad "Start Treating People Right" ends the disc on a warmly tuneful note.

		Pirner calls his solo release "a bit of a coincidence," rather than a consciously planned enterprise.
		One thing Pirner knew he wanted to make part of his solo effort was an R&B feel that's never been part of Soul Asylum's makeup but is very much a part of his own musical grounding.
		Of the latter, Pirner -- who's lyrics have been known to veer towards the confessional and cathartic -- notes that "It was a bit of a different direction for me, in a way.

		There are certain things Dave Pirner, the singer, songwriter and cover boy for Soul Asylum, would prefer not to discuss, especially at such an ungodly hour as one o'clock in the afternoon.
		Pirner insists, "What's going on in my life at the time has never really been the focus of what I write songs about," but it doesn't take a great deal of imagination to find autobiography in numerous Dim Light ditties.
		As if to emphasize this point, Pirner reveals that Soul Asylum is set to record a song for a second Sweet Relief benefit project, this one dedicated to the work of Vic Chesnutt, an exceptional artist who was paralyzed in an automobile accident during the Eighties.

	Dave Pirner - Faces & Names Review
		Well, Dave will always have the same voice but on Faces and Names he is going for more of a soul feel on songs like “Tea” and “Teach Me To Breathe”.
		It may be surprising that Pirner never released an album of this caliber while in the confines of Soul Asylum but after nearly 20 years in the same band, some things end up getting stale.
		Dave gets a little more personal and experimental on his own and it really pays off.

	Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! A&E Feature 09 17 02
		Dave Pirner's band Soul Asylum has sold millions of albums, but Pirner doesn't come off like a pop star or punk as he lounges on an overstuffed sofa in the front room of his Bywater home on a late-summer afternoon.
		These days, Pirner is increasingly visible on the local scene, mostly as an audience member.
		As a folk institution, Pirner thinks, the New Orleans tradition is not that dissimilar from the punk rock idiom.

		Pirner said hello to the crowd, then played and sang "Pretty Boy Floyd," a Woody Guthrie song he had played at a tribute to Guthrie put on by the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame last year.
		Dave was wearing untied combat boots and his fl accoustic guitar with the silver inlays now has a silver star..i think its a sticker but it looks really awesome.
		Dave mentioned that it was good to be back from Miami and he had just finished recording an album with Soul Asylum, I don't know if he was refering to the one that isn't being released or something else.

		Pirner was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin on April 16, 1964.
		By 1984, Pirner had moved from drums to rhythm guitar and lead vocals (Grant Young took over behind the traps), and the band had moved far enough away from the strict hardcore aesthetic to prompt a name change to Soul Asylum.
		In 2002, Pirner's first solo album, a contemplative R&B influenced effort called Faces and Names, was released; that same year, Soul Asylum resumed touring, and the group blocked out plans for a new album in 2003.

	In Music We Trust - Dave Pirner: Faces & Names
		While the band is taking a break, Pirner thought it was time to take a stab at a solo album.
		Rather, he centers it all around mid-tempo, mellow pop, ensuring no matter what style he's toying around with, you can be assured you'll get a warm, relaxed melody running through the song and a hook or two to chew on.
		Anti-climatic, to the benefit of the song, Pirner hits you with little more than a tired, almost defeated voice when he states, "The only things that have changed are the faces and the names".

	TrouserPress.com :: Soul Asylum
		Beyond the sturdy melodies and taut, '70s-informed rock energy, it intimated that hoarse singer/guitarist Dave Pirner might possess genuine talent as a hallucinatory storyteller and enigmatically confessional lyricist.
		Pirner's verbiage takes typically playful form to convey an especially sincere and desperate burden: self-loathing, confusion and doubt permeate the album worse than ever.
		The topicality of "Standing Water" (Pirner lives in New Orleans) and "Lately" (inspired by a TV report on a soldier stationed Iraq) give the album a lot of its shape, as do several references to Pirner's recent fatherhood; the fact that some of these songs were leftovers from previous projects further complicates effective analysis.

		Murphy, the band's baseball-jersey wearing guitarist, spends his time milling around a table of muffins, fruit and juices selecting his next choice, while singer, songwriter and guitarist Pirner, dressed in a grey shirt, lime slacks and rainbow socks, ambles slowly to the bathroom, his gait as relaxed as the low drawl of his voice.
		Dave Pirner says he's amazed the band survived the days of 100 km/h tempos and discordant rock and roll.
		However both Pirner and Murphy, who hope to return with Soul Asylum at the end of the summer for a cross Canada tour, have an elephant's memory when it comes to recalling their national tour with Hamilton's JUNKHOUSE.

		The band quietly faded from view, and Pirner took some well-needed time off, relocated to New Orleans and soaked up the insane and incredibly diverse musical culture.
		Now those that have followed Pirner and Soul Asylum have surely heard the band's cover of "Sexual Healing," so he's clearly dabbled in the past.
		Pirner's most successful experiments are the falsetto "Tea," the, ahem, groovy "Levitation," and the undeniably catchy "I'll Have My Day." On "Tea," Pirner combines a funky drum beat and guitar sounds with hokey, goofy lyrics.

		Dave Pirner's casually exacting songcraft and disarming delivery blend with Dan Murphy's intuitive mix of hard-rock chops and reflective guitar patterns while underneath it all, driving it forward and holding it together, is the alchemical flow and pulse of Karl Mueller's bass lines.
		Not long after finishing work on the new Soul Asylum album, Karl Mueller -- who'd been playing music with Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy since they'd formed the garage power trio Loud Fast Rules in 1981 -- died at home of throat cancer on June 17, 2005.
		The new album and the Bowery Ballroom concert are tributes to the unassuming genius of his musicianship and the pure rock 'n' roll in his heart.

	Dave Pirner: Faces & Names (2002): Reviews
		It almost sounds like Pirner is born again, and as anyone who's heard some of Soul Asylum's earlier records -- especially Hangtime and And The Horse They Rode In On -- knows, that's a good thing.
		I was a huge fan of Soul Asylum going back to their mid-1980's heyday, when they were the best live act around, and I have enjoyed following Dave's ups and downs over the years.
		Why does no one believe me? Every song is touched by Dave's obvious talent for putting together a great sound, even if the lyrics sometimes lack (who gives a crap about lyrics anyway?)...

	Soul Asylum
		Pirner's voice is whinily sincere, but he has trouble staying in key, let alone projecting with any force.
		Pirner comes to the rescue with some great melodic hooks ("Misery," "Crawl," "Caged Rat"), but also weighs in with some Neil Young-style semi-acoustic ballads ("To My Own Devices," "Nothing To Write Home About" - indeed) and pretentious overwrought story-songs ("String Of Pearls," "Eyes Of A Child").
		This time Pirner gave up on the hard rockers, and focused on generic midtempo tunes ("I Will Still Be Laughing") and semi-acoustic ballads ("See You Later"), with predictably boring results - spotlighting his whiny, frequently cracking voice wasn't exactly a brilliant move.

		The record garnered some college radio attention, but by 1990's And the Horse They Rode In On, Soul Asylum had fallen out of favor with the indie-rock set and were left languishing in limbo, having almost entirely forsaken their post-punk indie roots.
		Pirner and Murphy spent the time regrouping, working out songs as the acoustic duo Murphy and Pirfinkle, touring the Midwest.
		Pirner's well-publicized romance with actress Winona Ryder beginning in 1994 left skeptics predicting the band would break up, but they returned in 1998 with Candy from a Stranger.
