5.0 out of 5 stars Set in Little Five, March 2, 2005

Among the many compliments to this final studio album from drivin' n' cryin's line up of Kevn Kinney,Tim Nielson, and Jeff Sullivan is the assertion that this album captures the aura of the recording setting- Little Five Points in Atlanta, Georgia.The alt/coolness of the area comes through on this album.
No this isn't a psuedostellar work comprised of overproduced attempts at rock anthems, but instead this self titled album is a collage of introspection,lamentation,homage,quirkiness, and rebelliousness.I bought this record when it was first released, and I listen to it at least once every couple of weeks.To my notion, my predessessors in reviewing this work are opinion rich and dismally off. "Paid in Full", "Leaving on a Jet Plane", "I've Got a Message", "I 've Got Nothing to Lose", and "Keeping It Close to my Heart" are well crafted and diversely engaging songs that portray the coolness of an Atlanta band in the swing of Little Five

4.0 out of 5 stars We're Still Waiting for a Follow-Up!, June 21, 2005

This review is from: Drivin N Cryin (Audio CD)

This is the last studio album (to this point) from Atlanta rockers drivin n cryin. Tightly crafted by dnc and producer Kosmo Vinyl (who managed the Clash), dnc's seventh album tours refurbished songs from frontman Kevn Kinney's Milwaukee punk rock days ("Let Lenny B.," "Paid in Full," "I've Got a Message," and the title track), confessional singer-songwriter material ("Around the Long Way," "Beneath the Undertow"), power-pop gems ("Keepin' It Close to My Heart," "Everything's Gonna Be Allright"), a John Denver cover, and a beatnik wanderlust epic ("Passing Through") before leaving us with a Ramones tribute which pretty much sums up the band's ethic ("Nothing to Lose"). Tightly put together with bright, accessible production, this is a fine swan song (if swan song it be).

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy This Record!, January 25, 2002

Wrapped In Sky scared me. I thought the hard-rockin' DNC from the Mystery Road days was gone. Then they go and do this album with some very original heavy songs like Let Lenny B and Drivin' N' Cryin'. Next to Mystery Road, which you should own, this is their best effort. A great COMPLETE album you can listen to from start to finish and not get bored.
