Soul Asylum

In July 2012, when Soul Asylum performed "Black Gold" live at the UBS Forum for 89.3 The Current, the band was promoting their album "Delayed Reaction," released earlier that same month. This was the band's first studio album in nearly six years and marked a return to their roots after a period of lineup changes and a hiatus. The performance showcased their enduring sound, characterized by a blend of alternative rock and grunge elements that had propelled them to fame in the 1990s with hits like "Runaway Train." Interestingly, "Black Gold" is a track that highlights the band's lyrical depth and musical evolution, reflecting their continued relevance in the rock genre during a time when many bands from their era were fading from the spotlight. This live recording served not only to showcase their new material but also to affirm Soul Asylum's resilience and dedication to their craft amid changing music landscapes.
