Honeysuckle Blue ♪ Straight To Hell
Ok yall… get ready for greatness.
If you don’t know these awesome dudes yet… you soon will.
I grew up in the same town as them and have seen them live many times over the years. They remain one of my all-time favorite bands — and one of the most underrated to ever come out of the South.
Atlanta’s own Drivin N Cryin formed in 1985 and quickly became one of the South’s most distinctive rock bands, blending Southern rock, folk storytelling, and punk-edge energy into a sound completely their own. Led by singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney, the band built a loyal following through heartfelt lyrics and powerful live performances.
Their 1989 album Mystery Road produced enduring fan favorites like “Honeysuckle Blue” and “Straight to Hell,” two songs that perfectly capture the band’s mix of grit, heart, and Southern storytelling.
