Music reviews of Songs the Lord Taught Us
Music Review: Tear it up!
Rating: 5 Stars
Oh the Cramps...
Not since the Stooges have I heard a band bang out something so primitive and obvious in such an unbelievable way.
The Cramps did to rockabilly what the Stooges did to rock 'n' roll, they took a pipe wrench to its knees and just f'ed it up beyond belief.
The thing is, its still very much rockabilly, you'll hear the 12 bar blues chord progression over a half dozen times on this album, but you've never heard it this echoed out and reverbed and primal and sick before. You've never heard rockabilly music THIS unhinged and messed up.
And thats the beauty of "Songs The Lord Taught Us." Its not WHAT the Cramps are doing, its HOW they're doing it.
Its just so very rock 'n' roll.
I don't really know how much any particular person needs by the Cramps, but I do know they all need THIS album. Get it now.

Artist: CRAMPS
Title: SONGS THE LORD TAUGHT US
Street Release Date: 08/15/1989
Genre: ROCK/POP
The Cramps got away with their Z-movie, zombie-rock schtick because they were so intense in their conviction that it had more value than middlebrow humanist pop. Descending on Memphis to cut their debut album with Big Star legend Alex Chilton, the band served up a thirteen-song punkabilly testament to drive-in anti-culture, replete with garage-band guitars and booming voodoo drums. Versions of "Fever" "Strychnine," and the Johnny Burnette Trio's "Tear It Up" competed with Lux Interior-Poison Ivy originals like "T.V. Set" and "I Was a Teenage Werewolf." Songs the Lord Taught Us was also the first and last Cramps album to feature scary-looking guitarist Bryan Gregory. --Barney Hoskyns
