The band had their first rehearsal with Kelly Holland (singer) on November 1st 1991, played their first show in January 1992, got offered their deal 1st day of June, signed it on August 10th and were in Muscle Shoals studios on November 1st 1992. The now legendary debut album "Brother" took 20 days to record.
Within another year Cry Of Love, "Peace Pipe" (taken from the debut album) was at the top of US magazine Billboard’s Album Rock Chart. Cry of Love's 1993 debut album Brother yielded two other rock radio hits. "Bad Thing" and "Too Cold In The Winter" were the soundtrack for an extensive 18 month tour opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paul Rodgers, Bad Company, ZZ Top and playing in Europe as support for Robert Plant. In addition, they continued their own heavy touring schedule, where they freely jammed on extended versions of album material and preceded their second UK tour with a well received spot at the 1994 Donnington Festival.
It therefore came as something of a surprise when Kelly Holland departed later that year ("Brother" had sold over 220,000 copies in the States alone). After parting ways with their singer, the band launched an exhaustive search for a new voice while writing songs and rehearsing for a new album. Former Silent Witness and Lynch Mob vocalist Robert Mason was eventually recruited to replace Holland as the band's new frontman. With a new singer in tow, Cry Of Love entered Jag Studios in Raleigh with producer / engineer John Custer once again and recorded the second album "Diamonds & Debris" for release in 1997.
