Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum album for sale Product Description



Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum album for sale by Soul Asylum was released May 24, 2004 on the Columbia label. Recorded between 1988 and 1998. Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum CD music Includes liner notes by Lenny Kaye. The 2000 compilation BLACK GOLD: THE BEST OF SOUL ASYLUM is tilted in favor of the band's later work, with only four songs predating their 1992 commercial breakthrough. Therefore, this 19-track compilation is perhaps the best value for those fans of the band's early, scrappy, indie-label days (showcased on the brilliant "Cartoon" and "Just Like Anyone") who were so turned off by the mainstream omnipresence of GRAVE DANCERS UNION in the early '90s that they missed out on the pure pop joys of songs like "Somebody To Shove" and "Black Gold." The album also serves the useful dual function of condensing Soul Asylum's post-stardom albums, which are most politely described as "spotty," into their high points, and gathering some of the band's more obscure gems, like a terrific version of Victoria Williams' "Summer of Drugs" (from the SWEET RELIEF tribute) and the title track from their final album CANDY FROM A STRANGER, which perversely wasn't included on the album itself. Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum CD music contains a single disc with 19 songs.   ...See Full Description

Terrible Representation of a Great Band
Unfortunately, a LOT of people will listen to this "best of" and be turned off. This IS NOT the BEST of Soul Asylum. They have some AMAZING songs that go completely unrepresented here. It's not bad if all you know is "Runaway Train" and "Somebody to Shove." But if you really want to hear what the band has to offer, pick up one of the records... I personally recommend "Let Your Dim Light Shine," though "Gravedancers" is pretty good too, and a little more radio friendly.

Spotty
Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum buy CD music This collection contains too much B.S. The previously unreleased material should have stayed unreleased. You get the popular stuff (tracks 1,4,8,10,13&14) but the rest of it is a total waste. It seems as though they placed those tracks as such to force you to listen to the rest of the stuff in order to get to the good songs. Looking back over the years I understand why I never bought a whole album. Now after listening to this I will not be purchasing any of their other albums because I know there are no hidden gems to be found. How in the world do you leave off your greatest hits the cover of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing? If you have to start somewhere with this band this is a good place, after listening to this with the good stuff there is no way you could stomach a whole album.
