"Let's Go for a Ride" comes off Kerosene Hat, the second album from American rock band Cracker, which Virgin released on August 24, 1993. David Lowery wrote it with guitarist Johnny Hickman and Davey Faragher, and Don Smith produced.
The record had a winding road to get made. In 1992 the band tried to cut the follow-up to their debut entirely live to tape, gave up on the idea, and salvaged four of those live-in-the-studio takes as the Tucson EP. Then they went hunting for a spot away from the pull of LA and the label, checked out a Palm Springs place Frank Sinatra used to own, and settled instead on a run-down soundstage out in Pioneertown, California, part of an old Western movie set. Hickman remembered it as more barn than studio.
