Monday Morning Video: Drivin' N Cryin'

Monday, November 10, 2014 By Mayer Danzig

I just got finished watching “Scarred But Smarter,” a cool documentary about Atlanta rockers Drivin” N Cryin”. The film delves into the band”s rich history, thoughtfully considering why the band did and didn”t find success. From the ups and downs of label deals to a revolving cast best online casino of band members, the tale is an all too common one. Yet the mix of archival footage and recent interviews with the likes of Peter Buck, Darius Rucker, Kinney friend Ty Pennington (yes, the “Extreme Makeover” guy) and others brings the story to life.

Here”s the movie trailer to whet your appetite. As a bonus, enjoy the live version of the band”s classic “Straight to Hell” performed with an all-star cast that includes Mike Mills, Peter Buck and Bill Berry from R.E.M.
