MacDougal Blues is the debut solo album from Drivin N Cryin vocalist Kevn Kinney, released on Island Records in 1990.[2][3] The album received positive reviews.
After the album's January 1990 release, Kinney toured with producer Peter Buck the following month.[4] The musical output of that tour encouraged Kinney and the other members of Drivin N Cryin to move from a hard rock/Southern rock sound to a more folk rock style.[5] Buck found the experience to be enjoyable and one of his favorite production jobs.[6]
Denise Sullivan of AllMusic Guide gave the album a positive review for Kinney's songwriting, and the editorial staff awarded the album 4.5 out of five stars.[1] Spin's Karen Schoemer compared the album favorably to Bob Dylan and included it in the magazine's "Heavy Rotation" column.[7]
