Cry of Love

Cry Of Love was an American rock band formed in 1991 in North Carolina. The group released their debut album in 1993 (Brother) before playing the Monsters of Rock festival the following year. They scored a number-one hit on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart with "Peace Pipe" in 1993. After this show, their frontman, Kelly Holland left the group.

Robert Mason was recruited as Holland's replacement some three years later. Together they recorded a new album in 1997 (Diamonds & Debris), but the band split shortly afterwards.

Former band member Audley Freed was recruited to the Black Crowes in the late 1990s.
