Drivin N Cryin

After leaving Mr. Crowe’s Garden, Sullivan joined the Atlanta-based Southern rock band Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ in 1987, just as they were signing their first recording contract with Island Records. He replaced original drummer Paul Lenz and was recruited “just in time to accompany the band for its first major-label release”
