"Fly Me Courageous" by Drivin' N' Cryin'

Drivin' N' Cryin' formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1985 as a Southern rock band. Their earlier releases had a more pronounced Southern flair, but their 1991 release "Fly Me Courageous" was a no holds barred rocker. The title track performed well, although it didn't break into the mainstream Top 100 chart.

Fueled by the song "Fly Me Courageous" and other rousing singles like "Build A Fire" and "The Innocent", the album went gold and peaked at #90 on the album chart. It would remain the band's biggest chart success despite a steady string of follow-up records afterwards. Not sure why they didn't hit quite as big as a similar band breaking at that time, the Black Crowes.
