Archive material and source history
Crystal Yoakum came out of Austin, Texas in the early 1990s with a sound that mixed Americana, folk, and rock. The band included singer-songwriter Crystal Yoakum, guitarist Jake Oliver, bassist Max Riley, and drummer Sam Russo. Their debut album in 1994 featured 'Barrel of Rain,' a song that became their most recognizable track.
They released two more albums, 1997's 'Blood and Water' and 2000's 'Heartstrings,' before their career was cut short. Crystal's struggles with depression and addiction were part of the story, including a 2001 arrest for cocaine possession. There were also plagiarism claims about 'Barrel of Rain' that were eventually dismissed.
'Barrel of Rain' and 'You Can Sleep While I Drive' are the songs people still know. The band's three albums capture a particular sound from that Austin scene in the 1990s, raw and personal without much studio polish.
