And the Horse They Rode In On is the fifth full-length album by the American rock band Soul Asylum, released on A&M Records in 1990.[2][3] 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.[4] The first single was "Spinnin'".[5]
The album was produced by Steve Jordan.[6] The majority of it was recorded live on an A&M sound stage in Los Angeles, and finished in Cannon Falls.[7][8] The band decided to record what they felt like, rather than worry about a consistent style.[9] Soul Asylum spent so much time recording that they collected several outtakes.[10] "We 3" is about an eternal triangle.[11] "Nice Guys (Don't Get Paid)" is about drug dealing.[12]
The Windsor Star wrote that "'Gullible's Travels' is one of the best half-dozen rock tracks of the year."[19] 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."[18]
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."[20] The Richmond Times-Dispatch noted that "All the King's Friends" "impressively welds a '60s-sounding rock melody to an almost speed-metal structure."[21]
