Biography

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kinney formed Drivin N Cryin with bassist Tim Nielsen and drummer Paul Lenz after moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1985.[2] Kinney and his bandmates remained a part of the Atlanta underground rock scene until the album Fly Me Courageous, and its hit-single title track, brought them to a national audience on mainstream rock radio. A prolific songwriter, collaborator and performer, Kinney has been noted for his numerous side projects throughout his career, all while keeping Drivin N Cryin an active band. As a solo artist, he recorded the 1990 folk rock album MacDougal Blues with members of R.E.M., and the 2000 album The Flower & the Knife with various members of the jam-band scene, including Warren Haynes and John Popper. Starting in 2002, he formed the project "Sun Tangled Angel Revival" (S.T.A.R.) to release Americana and roots rock music. In 2011, Kinney released an album with The Golden Palominos, a long-standing musical collaborative project headed by Anton Fier.[2]

gollark: I suppose that could plausibly result in lyricLy marking down the rest?
gollark: Any other ideas? Or ideas about causes for some of the vaguer ones?
gollark: I can see many possibilities:- someone somehow revoked their 10/10 one- LyricLy decided that the 10/10 one was insincere in some way- LyricLy reassigned it 11/10 or something ridiculous- LyricLy marked it down for some reason (new better one?)- LyricLy accidentally deleted one of the 10/10 ones- LyricLy deleted one of them because it criticized his rule- marking system reevaluated
gollark: DId you randomly Ðelete them?
gollark: What? What happened?
