Let's Go Dancing: Said the Falling Rain to the Open Flame (CD)
Keller Williams - Let’s Go Dancing
Todd Snider - Turn It Up or Turn It Off
David Ryan Harris - Good Day Every Day
T. Hardy Morris & David Barbe - Scarred but Smarter
Scott McCaughey feat. Peter Buck - MacDougal Blues
Old Crow Medicine Show - Ain’t It Strange
Abe Partridge - Stand Up and Fight For It
Futurebirds - Patron Lady Beautiful
Puddles Pity Party - Drivin n Cryin
Lillie Mae with Rische Love - The Hardest Part
Kevn Kinney’s songwriting has always been a kinetic force - a seamless fusion of rock ‘n’ roll, folk music, and punk poetry distilled into a transcendent style and vision that is distinctly his own.
As the frontman of Drivin n Cryin and an accomplished solo artist, Kinney has built a legacy on storytelling that captures the heart and the restless spirit of honest American music. Each passing year reveals deeper and higher levels of imagination at work in every note and in every turn of phrase.
Kinney’s songwriting bridges the raw urgency of smoky barroom ambiance with the lyrical nuances of Americana traditions. With this compilation—Said the Falling Rain to the Open Flame—the third installment in the ongoing ‘Let’s Go Dancing' tribute series—a fresh batch of artists take the reins on Kinney’s songbook, revealing even more depth in each song’s tempos and variations, amplifying the timelessness of his compositions in exhilarating and unexpected ways.
Where the first LP in the series leaned into Kinney’s more introspective qualities and the second forged an eclectic roots journey, round three lands firmly in the “groovy” department while also exuding southern spirit and nuanced rock. It has a kaleidoscopic momentum underscored by evocative tales and a collection of contemporary voices and styles unified in harmony, honoring Kinney’s knack for crafting songs that feel both immediate and eternal.
Said the Falling Rain to the Open Flame is more than just a collection of covers: it’s a reaffirmation of Kinney’s enduring influence and a testament to the way his songs can shapeshift while maintaining his undeniable voice. Whether rocking, grooving, or exploring the spaces in between, these 10 tracks prove that Kevn Kinney’s songwriting has never been about fitting neatly into a single category. It’s about movement, connection, and the electricity of a moment stretched across rhythm and time.”
