Cracker Artist Snapshot:

Started by David Lowery of Camper van Beethoven and guitarist Johnny Hickman, Cracker originally aspired to (and nearly perfected) a smart-aleck take on southern-fried rock, with songs such as "I Hate My Generation" and the straight-rocking "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)." They scored their biggest hit with "Low" in 1993, but since the mid '90s have gradually faded from view, and left Virgin Records in 2003. With their new anonymity, Lowery and company have matured into a band that can pen a collection of elegiac Americana on one album and pull off a set of riotous country covers on the next. They even released an effective and surprising collection of bluegrass covers of their own songs with the jam band Leftover Salmon.

Title Note

Cracker: David Lowery.

Recording information: 1991 - 2002.

Formed after the dissolution of Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker provided a slightly more conventional outlet for the quirky stylings of singer/songwriter David Lowery. Joined by guitarist Johnny Hickman, bassist Davey Faragher, and a Spinal Tap-like array of drummers, Lowery crafted smart-alecky alt-rock that won over a considerable following thanks to college-radio hits such as the surging "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)" and the incessantly catchy "Low."

This 15-track collection presents those singles and other fine moments from Cracker's Virgin Records tenure (1992-2001), including the funky "Get Off This" and the punk-tinged "I Hate My Generation." Though the group's popularity waned in the late 1990s, and Faragher departed (eventually joining Elvis Costello's backing band), Lowery and Hickman soldiered on, showing a surprising amount of resilience in the face of pesky musical trends. With its cherry-picked track listing, GET ON WITH IT is an excellent overview of the ensemble's peak material and serves as an ideal Cracker introduction.
