Kelly Flint - Drive All Night
- 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 the radio’s on low.” The tone of the song is somewhat creepy and this song could be one in the upcoming Luke Wilson/Kate Beckinsale horror movie, Vacancy.
On “Story In Your Eyes,” a meditative feeling might sweep over listeners as the beat mimics the sound of water dripping. The measured guitar and percussion seal the deal, with lyrics like, “I’ve been thinkin’ about a fortune. I’ve decided we’re not to blame for the love that’s deep inside us now is still the same, and the sounds we make together is the music to the story in your eyes, its been shinin’ down upon me now I realize.” It seems Flint is re-examining certain choices she has made and re-assessing her feelings about them.
Kelly Flint’s Drive All Night is an album that lets listeners into the most intimate thoughts of the artist. Flint’s hopes and fears are all laid out in song and she does it so well that listeners will be compelled to follow along.
