Editor's note

Cracker's ragged rock and restless spirit

The band that gave us 'Low' and 'Teen Angst' keeps finding new corners of American music.

For a quick sense of Cracker, listen to 'Low' and then 'Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room (Red Dresses)'. They cover a lot of ground between those two.

Cracker matters because they never settled into one sound. 'Low' from 'Kerosene Hat' became an alternative radio staple, but that was just one side of them. Songs like 'Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room (Red Dresses)' show their knack for weaving country and rock into something that feels lived-in, not polished.

They formed in 1990 around Johnny Hickman and David Lowery, hitting with 'Teen Angst' and 'Low' in the early '90s. After a label dispute and Lowery's departure, Hickman kept the name alive with records like 'Gentleman's Blues' in 2003. They were still putting out albums like 'Berkeley to Bakersfield' in 2014.

Archive material and source history

Cracker formed in 1990 around guitarist Johnny Hickman and vocalist David Lowery. Their self-titled debut album came out the next year, and the single 'Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)' got some radio play. They followed it with 'Kerosene Hat' in 1993, which had the song 'Low' on it.

In 1996, the band had a dispute with Virgin Records over a live album release, and Lowery left. Hickman kept the name going with different musicians, putting out records like 'Gentleman's Blues' in 2003, which had a secret track called 'Cinderella'.

Some of their other songs include 'Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room (Red Dresses)' and 'Been Around The World'. They released 'Berkeley to Bakersfield' in 2014.
