Editor's review

A greatest hits record from Cracker? It seems like only yesterday that we first empathized with the plight of the disgraced cosmonaut. But David Lowery's singular brand of gritty guitar rock is well worth a revisit; the former Camper Van man has a snarl that resonates in any decade.

Biography

Cracker may be considered a somewhat traditional rock band (almost comparable to roots rock at times), yet singer/guitarist David Lowery's roots were anything but traditional since he fronted the '80s alternative outfit Camper Van Beethoven. Shortly after Camper Van Beethoven called it quits in 1990, Lowery began demoing material along with guitarist Johnny Hickman and bassist Davey Faragher, eventually going by the name Cracker (several of these early demos would eventually surface under the title of David Lowery Demo Mixes).
