Kerosene Hat by Cracker

Pros: Fun songs, southern rock, alternative rock, and blues!
Cons: A bit repetitive at times, "Lonesome Johnny Blues"

Cracker snuck briefly onto the music scene with this 1993 release of "Kerosene Hat." Most people don't remember this album or the band for that matter. But, alas, it's got an alphabetically organized slot in my CD collection. Why you ask? Well, there...

Pros: Rocks out on a regular basis, and a sense of humor to match

Pros: Dramatic
Cons: Some Songs SUCK!

Pros: Tracks 2,3,5,7,9,10 and 11
Cons: It is not the first album
