{{Short description|American rock band}}
'''Drivin' N' Cryin'''' is a [[hard rock]] band that featured Southern-inspired lyrics. Formed in [[Atlanta]] in 1985, the band was never hugely recognized on a national level, but was well-known in southern areas with college towns like [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[South Carolina]] and [[North Carolina]]. The band's early albums veered from punk, hard rock, and metal (the "driving" songs) to country, folk and acoustic ballads (the "crying" songs) -- which hard-core fans of the band may have loved, but not so much record labels and radio programmers.

'''Drivin N Cryin''' is an American [[Southern rock]] band from [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]].
Drivin' N' Cryin's original lineup was singer/songwriter Kevn Kinney on [[guitar]] and vocals, Tim Nielsen on [[bass guitar]] and Paul Lenz on [[drum]]s. Their first album, Scarred But Smarter (1986) on 688 Records was a showcase of [[southern rock]] with [[Blugrass music|bluegrass]] mixed in for good measure. After this album, the band followed with Whisper Tames the Lion in 1988 for Island. At that time Lenz left the band and was replaced by Jeff Sullivan.


==History==
There were high hopes for the band at the time due to the success of R.E.M.; all things Southern were tipped to become the next big thing. But Drivin' n' Cryin's uniquely Southern spin on rock was lost on the rest of the world. Persevering with Mystery Road, with the addition of [[R.E.M. (band)|R.E.M.]] guitar roadie Buren Fowler on [[lead guitar]], the band didn't alter style all that much.
The band was formed in 1985, soon after [[Kevn Kinney]] had relocated to Atlanta from [[Milwaukee]].<ref name=bio>Kinney, Kevn. [http://www.drivinncryin.com/bio/ Drivin' N Cryin' >> Bio] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110701104323/http://www.drivinncryin.com/bio/ |date=2011-07-01 }}. Drivin' N Cryin' Official website. Retrieved 1 July 2011</ref> Kinney was working at a sewage treatment plant by day, and was playing folk music at night. He met Frank French at the latter's recording studio, Dragon Path Music, and the two soon began writing original songs at night, sometimes while working at French's shop, Far East Futon Company. Kinney also joined forces with Tim Nielsen, who was in a popular band called the Nightporters, with drummer Paul Lenz. The band's name, Drivin N Cryin was chosen from one of Kinney's many songs that reflected the two directions of the band's music.


In 1986, having become one of Atlanta’s top club draws, the band signed with independent label 688 Records. The band's first album, ''Scarred But Smarter'', helped them land many tour dates and later a contract with [[Island Records]].<ref name="LarkinHR">{{cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Heavy Rock]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=1999|edition=First|isbn=0-7535-0257-7|pages=142/3}}</ref> In 1987, Lenz left and was replaced by Jeff Sullivan, who was recruited just in time to accompany the band for its first major-label release. Sullivan had been the drummer for Mr. Crowes Garden, which later became [[The Black Crowes]], prior to joining Drivin N Cryin.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> The same year, the band held its first Benefit For The Hopeful, a concert to raise money for Atlanta homeless organizations, held annually on December 8, the anniversary of [[John Lennon]]'s death. Fellow Georgia band [[R.E.M.]]'s guitar tech and touring rhythm guitarist [[Buren Fowler]] joined the trio at this time as well.<ref name=allmusicbio>[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/drivin-n-cryin-p4137/biography Drivin' n' Cryin' Biography]. [[AllMusic]]. Retrieved 1 July 2011</ref> Fowler was officially asked to join the band on a more permanent level (though not as an official member) in 1988, after many on-stage appearances with the group.
For Fly Me Courageous (1990), the band finally took on the [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] mantle and ended up with a good hard rock record, with the odd folk track thrown in. The result was perhaps shocking and less than fashionable in the years when alternative music was just coming into its own. Drivin' n' Cryin's greatest strength was as a live band, as they toured tirelessly around the South, drawing an enthusiastic, college-age audience. A Drivin' n' Cryin' show in Atlanta had to be seen to be believed -- the sound of the crowd singing along would actually drown out Kinney's own unusually strong voice.


The band released its first album for Island, ''[[Whisper Tames the Lion]]'', produced by [[Anton Fier]], in early 1988.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> The album peaked at No. 130 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]].<ref name=albumchart/> College radio success (and some commercial) accumulated with airplay of the songs "Can't Promise You The World" (for which the band filmed its first video) and "Powerhouse."
That same year, Kinney recorded the beautiful "Acoustic Folk" LP MacDougal Blues for Island. Drivin' n' Cryin's Smoke was released for Island in 1993 and ultimately finished the band's liaison with the label. It was followed by another, even sparer solo album by Kinney, "Down Out Law" (Mammoth) in 1994. He accompanied his solo releases by touring with R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, who produced the first album, while he and the band also filled the gap between its fifth and sixth records performing acoustic dates throughout the South.
[[File:Buren 3.jpg|alt=Folwer onstage|thumb|Guitarist [[Buren Fowler]] performing with the band in 1992]]
1989 marked the release of ''[[Mystery Road (Drivin N Cryin album)|Mystery Road]]'',<ref name="LarkinHR"/> including live staples such as "Honeysuckle Blue" and "Straight To Hell." In 1991, the band released the hard-rocking ''[[Fly Me Courageous]]''.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> Produced by [[Geoff Workman]], the album became the band's most commercially successful album and would be certified [[Music recording sales certification|gold]].<ref name=HR387>[[Georgia General Assembly]].

Georgia General Assembly website. Retrieved 30 June 2011</ref> The next few years the band toured with artists such as [[Neil Young]] and [[Soul Asylum]]. In 1993, the band released another album produced by Geoff Workman, entitled ''Smoke'',<ref name="LarkinHR"/> which peaked at No. 95 on the Billboard’s Top 200 album chart.<ref name=albumchart>[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/drivin-n-cryin-p4137/charts-awards/billboard-albums Drivin' n' Cryin' - Charts & Awards - Albums]. [[AllMusic]]. Retrieved 1 July 2011</ref> This album was another rocker, but failed to catch on with the public as had its predecessor.<ref name="LarkinHR"/>


In 1994, the band decided to move away from the heavy guitar sounds of the previous two records and brought in keyboardist [[Joey Huffman]] to replace [[Buren Fowler]]. That same year the band left Island Records and found a new home at [[Geffen Records]].<ref name="LarkinHR"/> The band's first and only Geffen album, 1995's ''[[Wrapped in Sky]]'', featured newly added keyboard sounds and a return to the band's original sound.<ref name="LarkinHR"/>
By the time the more gentle "Wrapped in Sky", the band's [[Geffen Records]] debut in 1995, hit the shelves, Fowler had left the fold, Joey Huffman had been added on keyboards, and the band was nearly forgotten -- lost in the void that many bands of their generation would find themselves in the wake of grunge. Kinney, Nielsen and Sullivan held on, releasing a self-titled album in 1997 and a four-song EP, Detroit City Rock, in 2003 that featured a haunting cover of the Beatles song "Let It Be" recorded in New York City on Sept. 12, 2001. Though Kinney has focused primarily on his solo career in recent years, Drivin' 'n' Cryin' still plays live dates, primarily in the south.


1997 brought a self-titled album, followed two years later by a live album, ''The Essential Live Drivin' 'N' Cryin{{'}}''. In 2000, the band released ''The Ultimate Collection'', a best-of collection. In 2003, the band released a four-song EP, ''Detroit City Rock'', which featured a cover of the [[Beatles]] "Let It Be," recorded in New York City on September 13, 2001. The band released its first full studio album in 12 years, ''The Great American Bubble Factory'' on September 29, 2009.

Drivin N Cryin is an American Southern rock band from Atlanta, Georgia.

History

[edit]

The band was formed in 1985, soon after Kevn Kinney had relocated to Atlanta from Milwaukee.[1] Kinney was working at a sewage treatment plant by day, and was playing folk music at night. He met Frank French at the latter's recording studio, Dragon Path Music, and the two soon began writing original songs at night, sometimes while working at French's shop, Far East Futon Company. Kinney also joined forces with Tim Nielsen, who was in a popular band called the Nightporters, with drummer Paul Lenz. The band's name, Drivin N Cryin was chosen from one of Kinney's many songs that reflected the two directions of the band's music.

In 1986, having become one of Atlanta’s top club draws, the band signed with independent label 688 Records. The band's first album, Scarred But Smarter, helped them land many tour dates and later a contract with Island Records.[2] In 1987, Lenz left and was replaced by Jeff Sullivan, who was recruited just in time to accompany the band for its first major-label release. Sullivan had been the drummer for Mr. Crowes Garden, which later became The Black Crowes, prior to joining Drivin N Cryin.[2] The same year, the band held its first Benefit For The Hopeful, a concert to raise money for Atlanta homeless organizations, held annually on December 8, the anniversary of John Lennon's death. Fellow Georgia band R.E.M.'s guitar tech and touring rhythm guitarist Buren Fowler joined the trio at this time as well.[3] Fowler was officially asked to join the band on a more permanent level (though not as an official member) in 1988, after many on-stage appearances with the group.

The band released its first album for Island, Whisper Tames the Lion, produced by Anton Fier, in early 1988.[2] The album peaked at No. 130 on the Billboard 200.[4] College radio success (and some commercial) accumulated with airplay of the songs "Can't Promise You The World" (for which the band filmed its first video) and "Powerhouse."

1989 marked the release of Mystery Road,[2] including live staples such as "Honeysuckle Blue" and "Straight To Hell." In 1991, the band released the hard-rocking Fly Me Courageous.[2] Produced by Geoff Workman, the album became the band's most commercially successful album and would be certified gold.[5] The next few years the band toured with artists such as Neil Young and Soul Asylum. In 1993, the band released another album produced by Geoff Workman, entitled Smoke,[2] which peaked at No. 95 on the Billboard’s Top 200 album chart.[4] This album was another rocker, but failed to catch on with the public as had its predecessor.[2]

In 1994, the band decided to move away from the heavy guitar sounds of the previous two records and brought in keyboardist Joey Huffman to replace Buren Fowler. That same year the band left Island Records and found a new home at Geffen Records.[2] The band's first and only Geffen album, 1995's Wrapped in Sky, featured newly added keyboard sounds and a return to the band's original sound.[2]

1997 brought a self-titled album, followed two years later by a live album, The Essential Live Drivin' 'N' Cryin'. In 2000, the band released The Ultimate Collection, a best-of collection. In 2003, the band released a four-song EP, Detroit City Rock, which featured a cover of the Beatles "Let It Be," recorded in New York City on September 13, 2001. The band released its first full studio album in 12 years, The Great American Bubble Factory on September 29, 2009. In 2011, the Georgia General Assembly commended Drivin' N' Cryin' in a house resolution for the band's achievements.[5][6]

Starting in 2012, the band began a series of EPs, each composed of tracks addressing a particular theme. The first, Songs from the Laundromat was released June 12, followed by Songs About Cars, Space and The Ramones on Sept. 18. On March 5, 2013, Songs From The Psychedelic Time Clock was released.[7] The final release of the EP series was Songs For The Turntable, released January 14, 2014.

In 2012, a documentary about the band titled Scarred but Smarter: Life n Times of Drivin N Cryin was produced.[8]

In 2015, Drivin N Cryin was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. In 2016 the band supported Dan Baird & Homemade Sin on the UK leg of their European tour and were augmented again by guitarist Warner E. Hodges.

Kevn Kinney has also maintained a solo career over the years. He released his first solo album, the acoustic MacDougal Blues in 1990.[2] This was followed by Down Out Law in 1994,[2] and The Flower And The Knife in 2000. The latter featured guests such as Blues Traveler's John Popper, Edwin McCain, and members of Gov't Mule and the Allman Brothers Band. He has released five more solo albums since, and frequently performs live as a solo artist, including live collaborations with Peter Buck of R.E.M.
