They’re a match made in heaven
Kevn Kinney: Teams up with Pete Buck for 'Spilth-f tour
■ INTERVIEW
By BILL KENYON
Entertainment Writer
They’ve decided to call it the
“Spilth” or “Spilf’ tour.
Trouble is, they can’t decide how
to spell the non-sensical, possibly
profound word that some drunken
soul shouted at them at one of the
clubs in which they’ve played.
“I think he said ‘Spilth,’ but
Peter insists it was ‘Spilf,” said
Kevn Kinney, lead singer of drivin’
n’ cryin’. The Peter he refers to is,
of course, Peter Buck, guitarist for
some other band.
The two are currently touring to
promote Kinney’s latest effort,
“Macdougal Blues,” a 10-song
acoustic set recorded at John
Keane’s studio here in Athens,
taken from material Kinney kept
to himself for the past decade.
Kinney believes the material,
which has a forlorn, even remor
seful duality, stems partially from
his life before drivin’ n’ cryin’,
when he lived in Milwaukee, Wis.
during the economic boom of the
early 1970s.
The boom ended with a crunch.
“And suddenly pharmacists
were working at McDonald’s,”
Kinney said.
‘Things aren’t always going to
be this good. Because of the atti
tude the Reagan era instilled,
people don’t think about what’s
going to happen when the bottom
of the blue-collar industry falls out.
I think about it a lot.”
It shows. Kinney consequently
wrote an assortment of songs, some
of which he liked a lot, but couldn’t
imagine drivin’ n’ cryin’ doing.
“I couldn’t just let the song 'Mac
dougal Blues’ sit there. I had to get
some songs attached to it and had
to put them all before the public,”
he said.
“And when drivin’ n’ cryin’ is
playing Cleveland or some other
town,” he said, “they expect d’n’c’
hard rock. I didn’t want to confuse
people any more than I had to.
Drivin’ n’ cryin’ doesn’t do acoustic.
‘This is a Kevn Kinney album
with Peter Buck producing. I
wanted only Peter to help me make
it.”
Although Kinney wrote the
material and Buck produced it, the
members of drivin’ n’ cryin’ are
helping with the tour, along with
whoever else happens to be in
town.
“Anyone we know who’s around
can join us onstage,” added Buck.
“Billy Bragg showed up once and so
has Mike Mills and a few others.”
Kinney and Buck see the whole
thing as an anomaly of today’s rock
scene. “Macdougal Blues" was
made for around $9,200, a tiny
fraction of the multi-millions spent
to produce typical rock albums.
“Its a guerilla tour and a guerilla
record,” Buck said. “We’re happy
just to go to a record store with
only our guitars and sing and play
and sell 20 copies that way. We
want to prove that you can make
money and sell a tour like this.
“You don’t even need a major re
cord deal,” he said.
The chief reason the two are
working together is that they are
friends. “I wouldn’t want to work
with Peter if I couldn’t stand him,”
Kinney said.
“And I’m not just attaching my
name and my band’s name to
Kevn’s album simply to promote
it,” Buck said. “I could go around
championing the causes of young
hopefuls, but that would make me
a PR person, not a musician."
