This longtime fixture of the Atlanta (and beyond) music scene has recently embarked upon a project in which leader Kevn Kinney<\/strong> puts together a handful of thematically-related tunes (usually including a cover here and there) in EP form. Songs for the Turntable<\/em> is the fourth and final in this series. Like the previous three discs, it showcases the songwriter’s (and band’s) stylistic range.<\/p>\n The soft-n-jangly \u201cStrangers\u201d is vaguely reminiscent of R.E.M.<\/strong><\/a>, though you can understand the lyrics. \u201cTurn\u201d is a rootsy riff rocker in the mold of the best 90s AOR with a Southern flavor. \u201cRoll Away the Song\u201d sounds like something Capricorn Records might well have been happy to release in the 70s. \u201cLove is the World\u201d is a singer\/songwriterly number with baroque touches. \u201cJesus Christ\u201d is a more or less throwaway Foghat<\/strong>-styled riff rocker wholly unrelated to the Big Star<\/strong><\/a> classic of the same name. (Here’s a review of the third and best EP<\/a>, and here’s coverage of the first EP<\/a>; the second’s very good, too.)<\/p>\n WNC residents take note: Drivin N Cryin will play a free \u201cDowntown After Five\u201d show in my hometown of Asheville NC on Friday, June 20.<\/p>\n Note: Due to an unusually full schedule last week and this week \u2013 you wouldn’t believe me if I told you \u2013 my posts will be a bit shorter than typical. Once the dust settles, my normal wordy posting will recommence.<\/em><\/p>\n Follow \u201cthe_musoscribe\u201d on <\/a> This longtime fixture of the Atlanta (and beyond) music scene has recently embarked upon a project in which leader Kevn Kinney puts together a handful of thematically-related tunes (usually including […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,62,65],"tags":[237,723,1244],"class_list":["post-5702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-release","category-rawk","category-review","tag-asheville","tag-drivin-n-cryin","tag-kevn-kinney","cat-49-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5702\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/musoscribe.com\/images\/icon_twitter_small.jpg\"){kind=icon}
