Split the Country, Split the Street is Kevin Devine's third album. It was released in 2005, being the second of two albums released on Triple Crown Records. It is the first solo record released after Kevin was no longer in Miracle of 86 (a band in which he was the lead singer).

The album features more rock oriented songs with fuller band arrangements than his previous two releases.
