The Great American Bubble Factory

The Great American Bubble Factory is the eighth full studio album from Southern rock group Drivin N Cryin.

[1] Released on September 29, 2009 on Vintage Earth records, it was the band's first studio album in 12 years.

Stephen M. Deusner of The Washington Post notes a few issues, such as "some stumbling social commentary and a regrettable album cover" but finds the album also "both a welcome return as well as a return to form for Drivin' N' Cryin'".

At times, "the album reverberates with an energy that the group hasn't mustered since 1991's Fly Me Courageous.

"[2] Mark Deming of AllMusic states that Kinney's voice is "starting to show its age ... but for a band that was formed in 1985 and has been off the radar for over a decade, Drivin' n' Cryin' sound admirably vital and committed.
