Blending Southern rock grit, folk storytelling, and hard-charging rock & roll, the band built a reputation early on as a must-see live act and a songwriters band with depth far beyond trends.Led by singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney and anchored by bassist Tim Nielsen and drummer Dave Johnson, Drivin N Cryin broke through nationally with a run of influential albums that helped define late-80s and early-90s American rock. Songs like Fly Me Courageous, Honeysuckle Blue, Straight to Hell, Build a Fire, and Scarred But Smarter became staples of rock and AAA radio, with Fly Me Courageous earning Gold certification and remaining a cornerstone of the bands catalog.While they emerged during the MTV era, Drivin N Cryin never disappeared.
