The Cramps - Greavest Hits

This was the first release (and only EP) by the influential and far reaching Horror-inspired black clad New York based band The Cramps. The EP was released in 1979 and is often viewed as a landmark in the revival of Rockabilly music and in the birth of Psychobilly music, although the band didn't like the term used to describe their music, despite the fact that they often used the word on their early gig posters. The term Psychobilly was coined by songwriter Wayne Kemp in the lyrics for the Johnny Cash song One Piece at A Time. The Cramps proved to be a huge influence on a variety of bands, ranging from Punk rock to Zombie Garage to Goth to their own Psychobilly. My personal favorite off this album, the heavy ass beats on their cover of The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird, gotta love that. Track's 2 - 5 are all covers just so you know.

Tracklist:

1. Human Fly
2. The Way I Walk
3. Domino
4. Surfin' Bird
5. Lonesome Town
