All right , thank you for listening to the Greatest Non-Hits

0:20

. I'm Chris , and playing

0:22

the song for you on

0:25

Driving and Cryin' fourth

0:28

studio album , fly Me Courageous , is my co-host

0:30

, tim . Thank you for listening

0:32

. This

0:34

is an album by the band Driving

0:37

and Cryin' . This is probably our last Atlanta band

0:39

for a while , but nevertheless this is probably our last

0:41

Atlanta band for a while , but nevertheless

0:44

they're

0:47

a creation from the mid-80s

0:49

and this album was released

0:51

in 1991

0:54

. The

1:02

band's been around for a long time I think their lead singer , kevin Kinney , is touring

1:04

solo at the moment but nevertheless , a blast from the past

1:06

. This album is

1:09

probably the band's most commercially

1:11

successful release to date . 1991

1:16

, around this time early 1991

1:18

, was the start of

1:20

the Persian Gulf War and

1:22

even though the

1:25

title track had a patriotic

1:28

chord to it , I

1:31

think it started to resonate with a lot of people . So

1:33

it was an album . In 1995

1:36

, it went gold . So anyway

1:38

, we're going to listen

1:40

to the whole album in its entirety

1:43

and then rank all the songs With

1:46

the exception of the hits . I think we're just going to make

1:48

Fly Me Courageous the

1:50

one hit . I think

1:52

. Another one was listed as a single , maybe Around the Block

1:54

again . The

1:57

band had a couple of big songs prior

1:59

to this , from the album Mystery

2:01

Road , which I think was the third studio

2:03

album . It came out in 89 . And

2:06

this is when they started to gain a lot of momentum . This

2:08

is a really good A couple of

2:10

the songs Straight to Hell and

2:15

the other one , the other big one from that one

2:17

, honeysuckle Blues . That's right

2:21

, honeysuckle Blues . Anyway , two

2:23

really good songs . But on this album

2:25

I'm going to say

2:27

the title track , find

2:30

Me Courageous , is going to be the one

2:32

hit . Everything else is . We're

2:34

going to listen to all of them , rank them and

2:37

rank the top three , as we always

2:39

do , but in the middle is where all the fun

2:41

happens . We're going to listen to some sound clips

2:43

. We're going to play all the songs . We're going to yuck

2:45

it up . We're going to talk to Tim

2:47

. He's going to give us his thoughts

2:50

. This is a

2:52

band I've been following since around

2:55

this time and I

2:58

haven't listened to them in years , but they

3:02

just popped back into my memory and I just thought this would

3:04

be a great time for

3:07

us to listen to this , re-listen to it , and

3:09

it brings back memories for me . And

3:12

Tim's listened to it . I mean

3:14

, it's no talk , talk for him , but

3:17

he likes it . I think we're

3:21

going to listen to everything . Like I said , he's going

3:23

to listen to everything . Like I said

3:26

, he's going

3:31

to chime in . We're

3:40

going to listen a little bit here . I think an important

3:43

thing to know about this band is they have a lot of overlapping

3:45

with a couple of other bands that we've done podcasts

3:47

on , most notably black

3:50

crows . Jeff sullivan

3:52

, drums , percussion , played drums

3:54

on the mr crows

3:56

, whatever . This the the iteration of

3:58

black crows . Before they became the black crows

4:00

, he was the drummer for that band

4:03

. He performs drums on

4:05

this album . Buren Fowler , guitar

4:07

player . He was a guitar tech

4:10

for REM . He

4:13

later left them

4:16

to join up with Kevin Kinney , originally

4:18

from Milwaukee . I think all these guys are from the

4:20

South , with the exception of Kevin Kinney . He's

4:23

from Milwaukee , the Wisconsin

4:25

area . And

4:29

let's see Tim Nielsen bass

4:31

. They had another original

4:33

lineup , we don't have to get too deep into

4:36

that , but on this album , George

4:38

Marino .

4:41

Tim .

4:41

Superglue Ray assistant

4:43

engineering . I should make that your nickname

4:46

Superglue . That's

4:48

Tim's last name , tim Superglue . Jeff

4:52

Workman engineering production . Us

4:56

Billboard . I'm getting all this from Wikipedia . It

4:59

peaked at 90 on the US

5:01

Billboard 200 . Build

5:04

a Fire . That's right , it was a single

5:07

. Actually

5:09

, Build a Fire went higher

5:11

on the charts than Fly Me Courageous

5:13

did Okay

5:15

. I mean we can take that one off

5:18

the table . Sure , why not

5:20

? The Innocent was

5:22

number 31 on US Mainstream

5:24

Rock . Fly Be Courageous is 19 .

5:30

Let's see what else we got here .

5:34

I saw a good documentary on them a couple

5:36

years ago . I think he

5:38

busted his nose

5:40

. I think , kevin Kinney . That's how he

5:42

has his unique and distinct

5:45

voice . I

5:48

think it gives the band a little bit of character

5:50

. I

5:54

think Tim's doing Zorba the Greek . Now I'm not sure

5:56

what that is . Let him

5:58

finish up , alright

6:14

, alright , so all right , all right , so we're in when he packs . You know he's gonna . He's packing it

6:16

in , he's coming back . He's scurrying back , dropped his guitar pick . He's adjusting

6:18

his mic . He's getting all ready . He

6:20

can't wait . You know , he's just he's

6:22

getting it all together . Adjusting

6:24

the chair . Before

6:27

6:29

8:13

gonna say this was

8:15

written during well

8:17

, they know it was green was the

8:20

rem tour in 88

8:22

okay uh , driving and crying opened up for

8:24

them . So they were pushing Mystery Road

8:26

and they're opening up for REM

8:29

, for their green tour , orange Crush

8:31

, and

8:33

then the war was coming on

8:35

, saddam had done his thing , or

8:37

8:40

to 91 and it's operation

8:42

.

8:42

Get your VCRs out , yeah .

8:44

Schwarzkopf , desert Storm , storm , that kind of thing . And

8:46

this was sort of like a find

8:48

me courageous , was like a big uh

8:51

, like a pro war anthem in

8:53

a way . Even I don't think they intended it that way , but it just

8:55

sort of mother america

8:57

is brandishing

9:00

her weapons . She keeps me safe

9:02

and warm by threats and misconceptions . So

9:04

and it was like a . It was sort

9:06

of uh , I don't know kind of playing both

9:08

sides of it maybe , or I think they

9:10

were clearly on the against side right

9:13

reality well , yeah , most

9:16

people , most people are , but I mean it was at the

9:18

time we considered it was . You know it

9:20

was a righteous thing at that point . You know

9:22

, things kind of gone south , went

9:25

down south sort of after 91

9:27

, but yeah , at the time it was , and

9:29

then kevin had a .

9:31

Kevin has a bunch of uh name

9:33

tags and hairnets himself .

9:35

Okay doesn't he ?

9:37

uh , he was working for a sewage

9:40

a sewage plant uh , well

9:43

, yeah , at the beginning of their career , like in 86

9:45

. I think he was working at a sewage plant in Milwaukee

9:47

. He

9:50

meets a guy .

9:52

Poop again .

9:57

He meets a guy named Mark French or something , or Fred French .

9:59

Fred French . That sounds like a cartoon

10:01

name ? I don't

10:03

know Kevin

10:06

. Kevin's out there , yeah

10:08

.

10:09

Well , anyway , that's what leads them to

10:12

Tim Nielsen

10:14

, the bass player , Paul Lenz .

10:17

They move to Atlanta shout

10:22

out to those MARTA riders out there , get

10:26

on that MARTA that's right .

10:29

So they were in the Atlanta

10:32

underground scene from probably like 85

10:34

86 and then 87 88 . They

10:36

, you know , hook up the REM little

10:38

five points . You know five points exactly

10:41

. Anyway , this was like sort of like the top

10:43

of the mountain for them . Yeah , a little , five

10:45

points Exactly . Anyway , this was sort of like the top of the

10:47

mountain for them . We're

10:49

going to listen to it . Any

10:52

last words before we dig in . That's

10:55

for you , tim .

10:56

Do we have any words ?

10:58

Are there any ?

10:59

I mean , I don't know what about our

11:03

pal ?

11:04

11:07

me and said some very vicious things and I'm

11:09

very hurt about this , what do you ? Mean hurt . You were hurt

11:11

by his words or you had an injury . Well

11:14

20:43

. Just today , oh wow , that 8th 2020 . Just

20:46

today , oh wow . That's interesting , Isn't that weird ? Fly

20:50

Me Courageous holds a profound meaning . It resonates

20:52

with listeners on a personal level Inspiration from

20:54

the concept of triumph and resilience in the face of

20:57

adversity . It's

20:59

kind of cool .

21:01

Serves a reminder in the darkest of

21:03

times , always a glimmer

21:05

of cool .

21:06

Serves a reminder in the darkest of times , always a glimmer of hope . Kenny

21:08

regarded it as a reflection of the band's collective

21:10

journey , as they were battling eternal conflicts and

21:12

attempting to navigate the ever-changing landscape

21:16

of the music industry . Its personal

21:18

struggle blended seamlessly with the introspective

21:20

theme of the song , creating a powerful anthem

21:22

that struck a chord with

21:24

countless listeners . Pretty cool , yeah

21:27

, I'd agree and

21:33

more cowbell yeah courageous

21:37

yeah it's

21:41

a it's a pro courage song , so I mean

28:20

big hand in

28:22

the early iterations of

28:25

the band

28:33

.

28:36

I've got to be fair to myself , Lisa All

28:38

right

28:55

.

28:55

here's where they start getting silly . All

29:10

right , See , if they

29:18

didn't just sort of like die it out , it

29:24

would have been over for me with this song . Now they came back and redeemed themselves

29:26

with this part .

29:31

Call the fire department . This it was out of control

29:37

.

29:37

That's . That's what's fun

29:39

about this kind of music

29:42

. What's that

29:44

? Just these outros , you know

29:46

, take the song for face value

29:48

, but then yeah

29:51

, and then like really cool little trick there

29:53

yeah

29:57

, they're kind of .

29:58

It's kind of flowing the way the songs

30:00

are . It's not like a super intense driving

30:02

song followed by a crying song . Right

30:04

, it's uh , they

30:07

were driving the beginning and then now they're crying

30:09

and they're gonna start driving . It's a driving song followed by

30:11

a crying song .

30:12

Right , they were driving in the beginning and now they're crying and they're

30:14

going to start driving again . You've got to get out of the

30:16

car to cry before you can get behind the wheel again to drive

30:18

, right ?

30:19

yeah , see , they've gotten out of the car and now they're crying and

30:21

we're going to wait for them to get back in the car and drive

30:23

again , unless you had

30:26

internal windshield wipers , like

30:29

it would wipe your cheeks off and you

30:31

just hold the wheel .

30:33

You have glasses , that just Some

30:36

kind of wiping contraption

30:38

. Just cry Drive

30:40

30:43

Oh yeah , you lost me . You

30:46

don't have to sit in the next couple of plays , but

30:49

I think I sort of knew what you were

30:51

talking about .

30:54

Somehow I knew they'd try it , to

30:56

find it and defy it

30:58

and to buy it . Oh , let's

. It was later thought out

36:04

by your scientists . Your

36:09

world frightens and confuses me

36:11

. Every time I get a letter on my fax machine , I'm

36:13

wondering did little demons come in and type these

36:15

things ?

36:18

I don't know .

36:21

My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts , but there

36:23

is one thing I do know . That

36:30

is when a client such as mine slips and falls on some ice in front of the public

36:32

library , he is entitled to no less

36:34

than $2 million in

36:37

punitive damages and

36:39

$2 million in compensatory

36:41

damages .

36:42

Thank you , I

36:45

Oh , I'll get out

if . I need some money . I didn't see this live . They are good yeah .

42:13

It's just like they're a live band . I

42:15

think that's what they're going for . Yeah , with all

42:17

this , the live Thing

42:20

, they're still touring now .

42:22

It's not the deepest . I mean

42:24

it is deep music , but it's Superficially

42:30

deep .

42:34

Okay , yeah .

42:37

I don't know , the

42:41

style of music maybe

42:47

makes it less deep , I don't know . They've

42:52

just got so many styles that

42:57

in one song even it's

42:59

just it's

43:01

. You could almost

43:03

be like Pickle Lane sometimes

43:05

with this band . I

43:07

just don't , you could almost be like Pickle Lane sometimes

43:10

with this band . Uh-huh .

43:12

I just don't . They're not committed to all one thing .

43:15

And I'm not sold on his voice

43:18

, but Mm-hmm

43:22

.

43:35

I think it makes a lot more sense if you live in the deep south and

43:37

, like you're driving in a on a canopy road . Yeah and it's , it's , yeah

43:41

, it's almost as if you have

43:43

to be in the aesthetic of

43:45

Deep South in order to yeah

43:47

. And their fan base is almost

43:49

entirely in Georgia

43:52

and South Carolina and North Carolina

43:54

.

43:55

That's like their . I had never

43:57

heard of this band until you mentioned them , right

44:00

.

44:01

Yeah , because nobody . They're lesser

44:03

known almost everywhere else , but they

44:05

still pack them in and they're

44:07

. They have a .

44:09

They're lesser

44:11

known almost everywhere else , but they still pack them in and they

44:13

have an enthused fan base .

44:16

They come back .

44:16

They have a fan base .

44:17

They go , go to

44:20

each city , they come back .

44:22

Well , I mean , they're fans . Yeah , like REM

44:24

, they're big fans of them too . They're

44:27

well-respected within the industry .

44:29

Yeah .

44:30

They're considered contemporaries

44:33

with one another For sure . Yeah

44:37

, this is . Build a fire , this is . We

44:40

could make this one a hit too . I'm

44:42

thinking maybe we should Call

45:07

the fire department

45:11

Fire .

45:18

Farewell Fire

45:22

.

45:26

Farewell Fire , fire

45:29

.

45:35

Come on through fire . So

45:42

this is a hit . No , you can't make this a hit . This

45:45

is going to be in my top three if this is not a hit

45:47

, Okay .

45:48

Well , it was a single . It

45:50

wasn't necessarily a hit . So it's

45:52

our show . We can make it .

45:54

I don't think it was a hit . Okay , it was not a hit .

45:56

Okay , all right , it's just Fighting Courageous

45:58

, that's it . It shouldn't be a hit .
