Drivin N Cryin - Crushing Flowers (2026)

Crushing Flowers is a high-octane return to form for the Atlanta legends, blending their signature Southern rock grit with a newfound psychedelic edge. Produced by Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys), the album strips away the polished layers of modern country-rock to reveal a raw, garage-rock soul underneath.

The title, Crushing Flowers, serves as a metaphor for the loss of innocence and the inevitable passage of time—themes that Kevin Kinney explores with his trademark rasp and poetic cynicism. Musically, the record is a heavy, guitar-driven affair that bridges the gap between the anthemic power of Fly Me Courageous and the experimental spirit of their early indie days.
