Milwaukee native Kevn Kinney left the city behind in the mid-’80s to move to Atlanta and found the country-rock band Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, and though that band has slowed down considerably over the last decade as Kinney focused on side and solo projects and battled a vocal node that made singing rock music painful, the group has taken to the road again in support of its latest album, The Great American Bubble Factory. Like most Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ albums, this one was heavily inspired by the beleaguered American economy.
