, the 58-year-old singer/songwriter has been grinding out tunes and putting miles on his body and soul for the better part of four decades, with all the accompanying highs and lows that come with that
toil.
All that effort and time hasn’t diminished Kinney’s sharp way with words nor his preternatural ability to craft the perfect rock tune. That’s as clear as ever on, the first full-length from Drivin’ N Cryin’ in 10 years. Produced by the equally talented Aaron Lee Tasjan and featuring guitar work from formersideman Laur Joamets, the record is held to earth by the weight of classic-sounding melodies and Kinney’s unflinchingly poignant and unromantic lyrics.
Paste: For the past decade or so, you’ve only been releasing these short EPs. What made you want to come back to the full album formatI wasn’t sure if I wanted to make a whole album. For some reason, it takes me four or five days to make these five-song EPs. And they were a lot of fun to do with these different producers and different studios. For some reason, you add four or five more songs to this, it takes two months. I don’t know why.
You’ve been working with Tim Nielsen for the better part of 35 years or so. What is it that keeps you two in each other’s orbits when all these other musicians have cycled in and out of the band? Something that happens to a band after so many years is there’s a telepathy kind of situation going on. We know how to read each other. Tim is what makes it Drivin’ N Cryin’ with me. I am what he isn’t and he is what I’m not. He has a drive that I don’t have. A drive for recognition and for the business and making a profit and making it work. Paying the bills and taking care of the bottom line. And I think he’s a great bass player. The songs are so precise and there’s so many different parts.
