straight to hell

It always shocks me when people don't know who Kevin Kinney is. He was the front man for Drivin & Cryin and remains one of the better contemporary song writers.

What? Oh yeah - a lot of people don't remember Drivin & Cryin either. The title track from Fly Me Courageous was all over the radio back in the mid 90s. Despite popular success, the record is one of the best from the decade.


Drivin & Cryin still gets together from time to time - with annual Thanksgiving shows in Atlanta and an appearance on Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimmie Three Days" cruise.

Kinney's song Straight to Hell (just like my mama said) was an anthem for teenagers across the south who probably never even stopped to listen to the actual lyrics.
