Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Postmodern folk with a tinge of Americana. If you want to reduce it to an easily digestible phrase, that's what you might call the music of Kelly Flint. As the sultry voice for the trenchant songs of David Cantor in cult faves Dave's True Story, Kelly made five albums and was the toast of the New York Times, the Kennedy Center, and more. But now it's time for her to spread her solo wings, or more appropriately, to DRIVE ALL NIGHT. That's the title of Flint's first solo album, and what that album's about is the sum total of the places she has been. In the album's warm, organic arrangements, acoustic sonorities, and occasional open-road, real-America flavor, you can discern Flint's Midwestern youth, spent soaking up the classic folk-rockers of the '70s. In the more complex shapes that Flint's lyrics conjure in the mind's eye, and the subtle harmonic twists that keep DRIVE ALL NIGHT from becoming strictly an 'Americana' album, her coming of age in New York City is apparent. Her involvement in the jazzy sophistication of Dave's True Story, her immersion in the complicated, urgent, shades-of-gray sensibility that is the experiential dividend of New York life it's all in this striking new batch of songs. Sometimes the trenchant bite is just under the surface, and sometimes it snaps up to nab a piece of your heart. Produced by Jeff Eyrich, bassist and producer for Dave's True Story, DRIVE ALL NIGHT doesn't leave Flint's previous musical life entirely behind; you can still hear the combination of hope and world-weariness, blue moods and gossamer balladry that helped make that group indie darlings. But this album adds another string to Flint's bow, and establishes her as a distinct musical entity, ultimately reliant on nothing but her own artistic road map.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Inspiring lyrics......
A true blend of folk and Americana describes Kelly Flint's Drive All Night. At times her voice is somber and other times it's avid with the fervor of emotions she wishes to let loose and share with her listeners.
"Blood and Bone" is Flint musing about how those closest to her, friends and family, are the most important and influential people in a person's life. In Flint's case, she intimates that they saved her, with lyrics like, "She always used to listen to that song...If you ask me, if you ask me again, if you ask me I was saved by my friends and my babies this is all blood and bone." The message is further conveyed through the rhythmic tidings of acoustic guitar, drums and percussion.
The title track paints a picture of a group on a road trip with destination unknown, with lyrics such as, "Darkness falls around the car, like a moth. We are drivin' just to be drivin', the heater's blabbering and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Flint Scores High
Flint's first solo album is a surprise to those expecting to hear the same Kelly Flint featured in Dave's True Story--A pleasant surprise that is! Kelly's almost country like approach works prefectly with her great voice. I can't wait to hear her next CD.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - nice variety
I have enjoyed all of the CD's from Dave's True Stories. I like this one too. Not as sassy, smart, or sophisticated as the work from DTS, but still very enjoyable..."Cartoon" in heavy rotation. Analogous to "Girl in the other Room" and Dianna Krall's other work. If you like the voice, you'll appreciate something new.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - soon to be your favorite balladeer
I am jealous of all of you who have yet to discover Kelly Flint.
You will be amazed at her rich mellow delivery, her poetry, her can't-keep-still beat.
You will be moved, in more ways than one. Buy this.
