?????????? For any band that lasts thirty years, the notion of a greatest hits compilation is almost silly. Even the best of these rarely do justice in capturing a band's catalogue and respective eras. On their newly released vinyl compilation, Georgia alt. country legends Drivin' N' Cryin' took a decidedly different approach to the "best of" formula. Instead of focusing on their most well-known songs (they did this in 2006 with both a studio and live release), Kevin Kinney and co...

As much as I enjoyed the Drivin' N' Cryin' EPs of the last few years- Songs From the Laundromat, Songs About Cars, Space and The Ramones, Songs From the Psychedelic Time Clock and Songs For the Turntable, I'm a vinyl guy, I've got D n C albums I picked up 20 years ago. Yeah, I'm old school, and as much fun as the tunes are, they deserve to be on an LP...

Atlanta's Kevn Kinney and Drivin' N Cryin' have weathered the ups and downs of the music business since the mid-'80s with their mix of hard rock, southern-style boogie, a heap of punk attitude, topped off with Kinney's love of lo-fi garage rock. The last year has seen them release 4 EPs (Songs From The Laundromat, Songs About Cars, Space and The Ramones, Songs From the Psychedelic Time Clock) and this last release, Songs For The Turntable might be the best one yet...

Atlanta's drivin' n' cryin' have been around for over 25 years (their first album, Scarred But Smarter was released in 1986) and they've never lost that initial energy that made them stand out in the local music scene. They were punky -- the "drivin'" -- but could stop on a dime and sing you a country weeper -- the "cryin'" -- such as 1989's "Straight to Hell" from Mystery Road...

New! Records Drivin' N Cryin' is embarking on an interesting sonic trip, with plans to release 4 EPs over the next year.

The EP marks the studio debut of guitarist Sadler Vaden, who joined the band just last year but meshes with Kinney and bandmates Tim Nielsen (bass) and Dave V...

Drivin' N' Cryin' are a Southern rock band torn between influences. On the one hand, flowery and passive mid-tempo songs in Fly Me Courageous, like "Around the BlockAgain" recall the '80s-era neopsychedelia of R.E.M., while the power chords and good ol' boy beats of "Chain Reaction" and the title track of Fly Me Courageous pay homage to '70s-style guitar bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd. The onlyproblem is that Drivin' N' Cryin' aren't weird enough to pull off thesensitive-artist shtick perfected by R...
