Crushing Flowers [CD]

Nearly forty years into their storied career, Atlanta’s Drivin N Cryin has announced their newest album. Crushing Flowers, out April 10, is a raw, melodic chapter that trades Southern rock tropes for honest songwriting. Produced by Sadler Vaden, the record features guest spots from Peter Buck and the late Todd Snider.

The standout single, "Mirror Mirror," is an unflinching look at memory and heredity, born from Kinney’s personal experiences with his mother’s Alzheimer’s. The track features the vulnerable, human-first storytelling that has made the band a staple of Southern rock since the mid-80s.
