For some listeners, Soul Asylum may be best known as the group that had a worldwide hit in 1993 with "Runaway Train." The band's major label breakthrough on Columbia Records, it was a Top 10 hit in 14 countries that went Gold in the U.S. and four other territories, brought their album Grave Dancers Union to multi-Platinum status, and garnered a Grammy for Best Rock Song in 1994. But there's more to the band than that. Their journey to that global acclaim, starting as rowdy punk band --
Omnivore Recordings' series of Soul Asylum reissues has shone a light on their early years. On January 18, the label will release an expanded edition of While You Were Out. It was Soul Asylum's last independent album on Twin/Tone Records before the group signed with A&M Records. Originally released in 1986 (their third album that year!), it's considered by many to be their best work. Omnivore's reissue combines the original album with the 1988 rarities collection Clam Dip & Other

What do you get when you bring together members of Wilco, Soul Asylum, and The Jayhawks and throw them into a remote recording studio in Minnesota wilderness? Well, as the Run Out Groove label proved with its LP reissue earlier this year, the result is one mighty down-home, fun album of country-rock grooves: Down By the Old Mainstream by '90s supergroup Golden Smog. While their lineup has been mercurial since they first got together in the late-'80s, the core lineup included Kraig Johnson of
Welcome to this week's Release Round-Up!

On July 20, Omnivore Recordings will reissue the first two of those Twin/Tone LPs as deluxe, expanded CDs loaded with rarities and previously unreleased tracks.
