'''Pinmonkey''' was an American [[country music]] band from [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. The band was formed in 2002 by Michael Reynolds (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), brothers Michael Jeffers (vocals, bass guitar) and Chad Jeffers ([[Dobro]], [[lap steel guitar]]), and Rick Schell (drums, vocals). The band released two albums in 2002: ''Speak No Evil'' independently, and ''[[Pinmonkey (album)|Pinmonkey]]'' via [[BNA Records]]. The latter produced two singles in "[[Barbed Wire and Roses]]" and a cover of [[Cyndi Lauper]]'s "[[I Drove All Night]]", both of which charted on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Hot Country Songs]] charts. Schell and Chad Jeffers both left in 2005, with Mike Crouch briefly replacing the former. After these membership changes, Pinmonkey released their third album ''[[Big Shiny Cars]]'' on [[Back Porch Records]] in 2006 before disbanding. Afterward, the Jeffers brothers became backing musicians for other artists, Schell joined [[Pure Prairie League]], and Reynolds released a solo album. Pinmonkey received general critical favor for Reynolds's singing voice, [[bluegrass music|bluegrass]] and [[country rock]] influences, and the breadth of their [[cover song]] choices.
