I'll be with you girl/Like being low/hey hey hey like being stone/I'll be with you girl/Like being low/hey hey hey like being stone/ A million poppies gonna make me sleep/Just one rose and knows your name/The fruit is rusting on the vine/The fruit is calling from the trees

Somewhere in the mid '90's Cracker released two more cd's, but never seemed to regain the attention of Kerosene Hat. Like Lowry said, "what the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head." Grunge died, industrial/anger rock resurfaced, pop came back and no one cared about what was happening past the Mason-Dixon line, till Dave Matthews. Forget Dave Matthews, if you want genuine foot-stomping rock with a country tinge, Cracker is what you need.

Forever is a solid album, mellow, smoky, sexy and splendid. "Brides of Neptune," is sweet and melodic with a catchy hook.

Brides of Neptune cross the water/bring us your sons and bring us your daughters/I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea/I'll take you home.

"Guarded by Monkeys," is weird and so much fun, perhaps my favorite song on Forever. David's got a bad attitude for lust: loud, obscene and sincere.

You are so beautiful/You should be hid deep in the jungle/You are so beautiful/You should be guarded by monkeys/I have invented 51 daylights/This does not seem to impress you/You are so beautiful/Sublime and classified/I can't stop thinking about you

"Forever" definitely sounds like the single from this cd and aptly named as the album title. It's got the Cracker sound and is singable, hooky, catchy and bluesy.

Crystalline/Those perfect dreams/Its all wide open at seventeen/Start again/Me and you simple life/On Route 62/Rusted out/Broken down/Little places/Falling down Life is good/Or so it seems/I don't need/Anything. I just wanna live like this now and forever/I just wanna live like this now and forever/I just wanna live like this now and forever/Now and forever/forever

A very solid rock album. A rarity, throw this on and groove through every track. I recommend this as a car trip cd, windows open, a happy buzz, warm day, top down (either yours or the cars) as you roll by endless bayous, creeks and rivers. Soak up some Southern comfort.
