Cry Of Love was a great 90's band that would have fit in perfectly with the


70's music scene. The band played bluesy hard rock, which wasn't to 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 it's release the band called it a day.


After the break-up Freed joined another similar sounding band in 1999, the


Black Crowes, and later toured with Aerosmith's Joe Perry. Mason returned


to Lynch Mob before recording with Big Cock. Kearns hooked up with country


artist Chris Cagle while Patterson showed up in Corrosion Of Conformity and


Holland resurfaced as the singer/drummer in a covers band named Crush. Cry


Of Love was an excellent band that came upon the music scene two decades


too late.
