Biography
1)Jimi Hendrix & The Band Of Gypsys on the Cry Of Love Tour in 1970 nicknamed the Cry Of Love…
2)Cry Of Love was a 90’s band that would have fit in perfectly with the 70’s music scene. The band played bluesy hard rock, which wasn’t too far removed from that of Bad Company and Free, and made some waves with their debut before fading into obscurity.
Cry Of Love was formed in Raleigh, North Carolina by Kelly Holland (vocals), Audley Freed (guitar), Robert Kearns (bass) and Jason Patterson (drums). Freed’s wonderful guitar playing and the surprise rock radio success of singles “Bad Thing”, “Peace Pipe” and “Too Cold In The Winter” made the debut album a surprise success in an era where grunge and Black Sabbath type riffs reigned supreme. The group embarked on a lengthy year and a half long tour supporting acts such as Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top before things took a surprising twist.
In late 1994 Holland announced he was departing the band, leaving the remaining members to search for a new front man. The new vocalist would be one-time Lynch Mob singer Robert Mason, who would appear on the follow-up Diamonds & Debris, another superb effort. But by the time of the albums release, some four years after the debut, the music world had already forgotten about Cry Of Love, and the album sank without a trace. Shortly after its release the band called it a day.

I smooth wore out two different discs of "Brother" One of my favorite bands along with THe Four Horsemen from this era. Bad Thing reminds me of songs The Tony Spinner Project did out of NE Arkansas back in the late 80s. Will be looking into the other albums as well by them.

Sem dúvida uma das melhores bandas que pude conhecer. O disco Brother tem músicas sensacionais! Audley Freed é um gênio! Grooves e riffs poderosos do início ao fim, isso sem falar dos solos matadores como o de Pretty As You Please. Nota 10! Diamonds and Debris também não fica pra trás - embora eu ainda prefica Kelly Holland ao Robert Mason - o disco tem excelentes músicas como Fire In The Dry Glass e Empty Castles. Cry Of Love é show!

One of my all-time favourite bands, especially the Brother album...for me it's one of those magic albums where it's impossible to find a bad track. For me that type of album doesn't happen often. If you can, you should try to find Cry of Love's cover of "I Ain't Superstitious". Audley's guitar work is amazing on it ;)
