Kerosene Hat by Cracker
Kerosene Hat is an album by Cracker, released in 1993. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 120 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Low”, on 88 lists with a best position of #9.
Kerosene Hat, Cracker's second album, followed their self-titled debut onto Virgin on August 24, 1993, and it's the record that got David Lowery and Johnny Hickman's band noticed far and wide. The whole thing has a loose, rumpled, slightly stoned feel, alt-rock with dust on its boots and a smirk on its face.
"Low" is the one that did it, a woozy, sludgy grind with a chorus that lurches in like a hangover, and "Get Off This" is a scrappy, fast-talking rocker. "Euro-Trash Girl", the third single, rounds out a trio that won Cracker a much wider audience, while "Movie Star" and "Let's Go for a Ride" show there's more than the hits in the grooves.
It climbed to the top of Billboard's Heatseekers chart and reached number 59 on the Billboard 200, and The Golden Age came next.
