Formada em Atlanta em 1986, a banda de hard e southern rock, Drivin N Cryin, nunca foi bem sucedida nacionalmente, mas reinou suprema na região durante a sua existência. Originalmente composta pelo cantor e compositor Kevn Kinney na guitarra e vocal, Tim Nielsen no baixo e Paul Lenz na bateria, o disco de estréia da banda foi o atemporal “Scarred But Smarter” (1986), fundindo hard rock e bluegrass, lançado pelo selo 688 Records, que cresceu junto com a boate punk homônima de Atlanta. A banda continuou com “Whisper Tames The Lions”, de 1988, entrando Jeff Sullivan no lugar de Lenz. Havia grande expectativa em torno da banda na época, devido ao sucesso do R.E.M.; tudo que era southern estava pronto para se tornar a próxima atração. Mas o southern singular da Drivin N Cryin acabou se perdendo do resto do mundo. Perseverando com “Mystery Road”, já adicionada do ex-guitarrista de turnês da R.E.M., Buren Fowler, a banda não alterou muito o seu estilo. Já no disco seguinte, “Fly Me Courageous” (1990), o grupo finalmente vestiu o manto do heavy metal (comentário meu: a afirmação é estranhíssima; afinal de contas, o som da banda nunca chegou perto do gênero; acho que heavy metal foi empregado no texto mais no sentido de hard rock, como se comprova com a sequência da frase) e gerou um bom disco de hard rock, associado a uma extravagante trilha folk. O resultado foi talvez chocante mas meio fora de moda para os padrões da música alternativa da época. A grande força da Drivin N Cryin advinha da sua atuação ao vivo, e foi assim que a banda percorreu incansavelmente o sul do país, atraindo um entusiasmado público universitário. Um show da Drivin N Cryin em Atlanta tinha que ser visto para se acreditar no que ali se passava - o som da multidão cantando junto suprimia realmente a voz excepcionalmente forte de Kinney. Naquele mesmo ano, Kinney gravou o belo LP de folk acústico, “MacDougal Blues”, para o selo Island. O disco “Smoke”, da Drivin N Cryin, foi lançado em 1993 pela Island e selou o fim da relação da banda com a gravadora. Foi seguido por outro álbum solo ainda mais despojado de Kinney, “Down Out Law” (Mammoth), de 1994. Ele acompanhou o seu lançamento solo excursionando com o guitarrista da R.E.M., Peter Buck, que produziu o seu primeiro disco, enquanto ele e a banda também preenchiam a lacuna entre o quinto e o sexto álbuns do grupo, com shows acústicos por todo o sul do país. Quando o suave disco “Wrapped In Sky”, que marcava a estréia da banda na etiqueta Geffen, chegou às prateleiras em 1996, o grupo estava quase esquecido – perdido no vazio que muitas bandas da sua geração acabaram caindo com o advento do grunge. Kinney, Nielsen e Sullivan encorparam-se com a adição de Joey Huffman, que tocou teclados em “Wrapped In Sky”. Fowler deixou a banda logo em seguida, mas o grupo continuou a gravar, lançando um disco homônimo em 1997. Um trabalho ao vivo, “The Essential Live”, apareceu em 1999. Logo após surgiu um EP com quatro músicas, “Detroit Rock City”, de 2003, seguido por um outro álbum de estúdio, “The Great American Bubble Factory”, de 2009. [Fonte:collectivecollection]
Formed in Atlanta in 1986 the band hard and southern rock, Drivin N Cryin , never been successful nationally, but reigned supreme in the region during its existence . Originally composed by singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney on guitar and vocals, Tim Nielsen on bass and Paul Lenz on drums, the disc's debut was the timeless " Scarred But Smarter " ( 1986 ) , fusing hard rock and bluegrass, released by Seal 688 Records, which grew along with the eponymous punk nightclub in Atlanta. The band continued with " Whisper Tames The Lions " , . the 1988 entering Jeff Sullivan instead of Lenz There was great anticipation around the band at the time, due to the success REM; everything was southern was ready to become the next attraction. But the singular Drivin N Cryin southern of got lost from the rest of the world. with Persevering "Mystery Road " , now added the Former touring guitarist for REM, Buren Fowler, the band has not changed much your style. You "Fly Me Courageous " next disc ( 1990 ) , the group finally assumed the mantle of heavy metal ( My comment: the statement is very strange; after all, the band's sound never came close to the genre ; think heavy metal was used in the text in more sense of hard rock, as evidenced with the following sentence ) and generated a good hard hard rock, associated to a flamboyant folk track. The result was shocking but maybe a little out of fashion for patterns of alternative music of the time. The great strength of Drivin N Cryin guess its live performance, and that's how the band relentlessly toured the south of the country, attracting an enthusiastic college crowd. A show Drivin N Cryin of Atlanta had to be seen to believe there was going -. the sound of the crowd singing along really suppressed exceptionally strong voice Kinney That same year, Kinney recorded the beautiful LP of acoustic folk, " MacDougal Blues " , for the Seal Island. The album "Smoke " , Drivin N Cryin's, was released in 1993 Island and sealed by the end of the band's relationship with the label. It was followed by another solo even more stripped "Down Out Law " Kinney album, ( Mammoth ) , of 1994. He accompanied his solo release touring with REM guitarist, Peter Buck , who produced her first album, as he and the band also filled the gap between the fifth and sixth album of the group, with acoustic shows throughout the South. When the soft disc " Wrapped In Sky " , which marked the debut of the band's Geffen label, hit the shelves in 1996 the group was almost forgotten -. lost in the void that many bands of their generation ended up falling with the advent of grunge Kinney , and Nielsen Sullivan encorparam-up with the addition of Joey Huffman, who played keyboards " Wrapped In Sky " . Fowler left the band shortly thereafter, but the group continued to record, releasing a self titled in 1997 disc. A live work, "The Essential Live " , appeared in 1999. Soon after came an EP with four songs, " Detroit Rock City", the 2003 followed by another studio album, " The Great American Bubble Factory " , the 2009. [Source: collectivecollection]
