Fly Me Courageous is the fourth studio album by Southern rock band Drivin' N' Cryin', released Jan. 8, 1991, by Island Records.

[1] The album is the band's most commercially successful release, in part due to the title track striking a patriotic chord in the United States during the start of the Persian Gulf War.

[6] Drivin' N Cryin's guitarist Kevn Kinney said of the song's success: We were getting invitations to play Naval and Air Force bases and getting tours of airplanes and pilots telling us they were listening to it before takeoff,[2]In addition to the title track, "Build a Fire" enjoyed some commercial success, reaching #15 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and receiving regular rotation on MTV.

[4][6] Tom Demalon of AllMusic called Fly Me Courageous Drivin' N Cryin's "finest moment, both commercially and artistically.

"[7] Entertainment Weekly's Bob Mack wrote of the album: "Stabs at pop ('Together') and last-ditch efforts to dazzle ('Rush Hour') are too little, too late, but even so, their impulse to integrate influences rather than pick a niche is refreshing".
