I'm just a guy who loves music and remembers way too much. It was suggested to me, to start a podcast and share all this useless trivia that I've had stored in my head all these years.
So here I am, having a blast talking about bands, albums, songs, concerts, from my musical journey. We all have our own adventures but you're listening to my tales to tell, or as I say, Music In My Shoes.
Come be entertained and Learn Something New or Remember Something Old!!!
Kevn Kinney is the lead singer / songwriter of the Atlanta rock band, Drivin N Cryin, who are celebrating their 40th Anniversary in 2025. Since the band's 1985 inception, he's released some spare acoustic records on his own, often collaborating with R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck.
MacDougal Blues, released on Island Records in 1990, announced the rocker's arrival on the folk scene, with the engaging title cut and nine more acoustic tracks, produced by Buck, and mostly played by his bandmates from Drivin N Cryin.
Though often cited as a working-class lyricist, his is a unique spin on class, not urban yet not completely rural.
Kinney still continues to tour as a solo artist in-between dates with Drivin N Cryin. Darius Rucker cut Kinney’s song, Straight To Hell, on his album When Was The Last Time. The Drivin N Cryin song was a major hit on their album, Mystery Road, originally released in 1989.
As musician, writer, and record producer, Lenny Kaye has been intimately involved with the creative impulse that marks the music. He has been a guitarist for poet-rocker Patti Smith since her band’s inception more than fifty years ago, and is the co-author of Waylon, the life story of Waylon Jennings. He has worked in the studio with such artists as Suzanne Vega, Jim Carroll, Soul Asylum, Kristen Hersh, and Allen Ginsberg, as well as his own solo muse. His seminal anthology of sixties’ garage-rock, Nuggets, has long been regarded as defining a genre. He can be heard on Underground Garage on Siriusxm. The Patti Smith Group is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of 'Horses' in 2025.
