艺人介绍
by Denise SullivanKevn Kinney was the lead singer of the Atlanta rock band Drivin n Cryin, but since the bands 1986 inception hes released some spare acoustic records on his own, often collaborating with R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck. MacDougal Blues for Island in 1990 announced the rockers arrival on the folk scene with the engaging title cut and nine more acoustic tracks produced by Buck and mostly played by his bandmates from Drivin n Cryin. Though often cited as a working-class lyricist, Kinney cannot easily be thrown into the same bag as Springsteen, Mellencamp or Dave Alvin. Instead, his is a unique spin on class, not urban yet not completely rural — hes lived and worked in the urban center, Atlanta. Yet there is a gentleness and deeply humanistic thread to his work, and his use of traditional instruments enhances his words warmth. His follow-up, Down Out Law (Mammoth 1994), is a little more of a downer and less a celebration of folk music than a revealing, melancholy personal treatise, unaccompanied except by himself on guitar, save for one track. Continuing to record with Drivin n Cryin, Kinney also toured as a solo act for some time, often assisted by Buck or his brother. A side project with Warren Haynes (Govt Mule, ex-Allman Brothers) turned into Kinneys third solo album; released in 2000, The Flower and the Knife featured a number of other guests, including Blues Travelers John Popper, Edwin McCain, members of Govt Mule and the Allman Brothers, and more.
