Cry Of Love was an American rock band, formed in 1989 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The group released their debut album in 1992 (Brother), produced by John Custer before playing the Monsters of Rock festival the following year. After this show, their frontman Kelly Holland left the group. They scored a number-one hit on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart with "Peace Pipe" in 1993.

Ex-Lynch Mob and current Warrant singer, Robert Mason, was recruited as Holland's replacement some three years later. Together they recorded a new album in 1997 (Diamonds & Debris), but the band split shortly afterwards.

Former band member Audley Freed was recruited to the Black Crowes in 1998, and he played with the band until October 2001. He also played on Crowes' lead singer Chris Robinson's second solo album in 2004, and on the subsequent tour.

Bassist Robert Kearns later played with Lynyrd Skynrd, after the passing of Bass player Ean Evans, until early 2012.

Freed and Kearns now have a band named Hinlalato that also includes; Keith Gattis - Vocals/Guitar; Peter Stroud - Guitars; Fred Eltringham - Drums; Ike Stubblefield - Keybobards
