"Ah, no wonder I love this CD so much. Audley Freed on guitar. Check him out with The Black Crowes, especially "Live at the Greek" with Jimmy Page. Diamonds and Debris flows from track to track very well with songs that complement each other nicely. These guys remind me of bands from my youth like Grand Funk Railroad, Free, Bad Company, The James Gang, and even Jimmy Hendrix. Very "Joe Walsh" like with great hooks and lyrics. Try keeping a tear from your eye while listening to "Garden of Memories" after a couple glasses of wine in the evening. A nearly perfect and beautiful ode to love lost and the enevitable regrets of life. Currently my favorite CD. Come Back Sugarcane is a great song to wake up to in the morning. Really gets the endorphines flowing. Thanks guys! Good job!"

If You Like Hendrix & Skynrd

"5 Stars = Masterpiece



Cry of Love put out two albums in the 90's, the excellent "Brother" & one of the best albums (my opinion) released in the 90's "Diamonds & Debris."



Cry of Love named themselves after a posthumous Jimi Hendrix album. So one would expect a healthy dose of Hendrixian guitar & that was definitely there, but this band also had its roots deeply dug into Southern Rock ala' Lynryd Skynyrd & with "Diamonds & Debris" put out one of the best heavy Southern Rock records ever made.



Cry of Love's lead singer also set the band apart sounding very much like John Schlitz of Head East, with all the emotive range of John to, a voice of gold that perfectly complemented the beautiful & sincere music that this band created.



Unfortunately Cry of Love is another band that came out ten years or more to late, as Grunge was starting to dominate the air waves & CD sales, but for anyone who has the slightest interest in Jimi Hendrix & Southern Rock do your self a favor & pick up both albums from this band, your ears will thank you for it!

Do yourself a favor and buy this cd.

"If you liked any of the tracks from "Brother" released in 1994,you will be happy to know these dudes did it again in 1997-After hearing about the breakup after their first cd i was very dissapointed to think of never hearing this awesome guitar player again-(not to mention the rest of the band). I guess this cd has a new frontman doing lead vocals, sounds very good also.Go put your coat on and get in your car- you need to get this disc- KC Gorda"
