Cracker's
eponymous first album. One of my favorite albums, cause it just makes me
happy. Starts off with the radio-endorsed
Teen Angst, (
what the world needs now, is another folk singer, like I need a hole in my head) then moves along nicely with
Happy Birthday to Me, and then
This is Cracker Soul.
I See the Light comes next, a song that reminds me of
the summer after graduating high school, and then
St. Cajetan. The somewhat humorous
Mr. Wrong occupies the next track, which may be the last song on the side, the CD doesn't mention such things, but I think it's more likely
Someday, cause then side two would start with
Can I Take My Gun To Heaven?, which seems like a fun song to start with. After that comes
Satisfy You, a song I can take or leave, and then
Another Song About the Rain, a song I'd much rather
take, sad though it is.
Don't Fuck Me Up(With Peace and Love) comes next, and the whole thing finishes off with
Dr. Bernice, an excellent song, slow but tuneful, and providing that oh-so-essential essence of Cracker, the
wistful guitar tucked in between the
boistrous, smiling songs.
