"Crackerman" is one of the album tracks on Core, the debut Stone Temple Pilots put out through Atlantic on September 29, 1992, with the singles going to "Sex Type Thing", "Plush" and "Creep". Scott Weiland wrote the words and shares the music credit with bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz, Dean DeLeo plays guitar, and Brendan O'Brien produced, with Nick DiDia engineering and Dick Kaneshiro adding extra engineering.
Core went on to be the band's biggest seller, even though the first reviews were rough and knocked them for supposedly aping other alternative acts, Pearl Jam above all; hindsight has been far kinder to the record, which now gets counted among the key releases of the early-'90s alternative and grunge wave.
