Cry Baby Killer Double Black 13 LP
CRY BABY KILLER formed in the ’90s and finally offers their first full-length collection of songs with Double Black 13. Given the 23 tracks on display here, including “Sunday Best” and “Skull Shaking Boogie” which were previously released as a single back in 1996, one assumes this is a collection of songs rather than a singular album. Either way, this is a long run time that isn’t really meant to be ingested all at once. If you pick from the pile, there are for sure some solid sounds to be had, such as “Boystown,” which has a nice little NEW YORK DOLLS tinge to it. If rockabilly suits you, there’s at least a few tracks that dabble in that sound too, including the aforementioned “Skull Shaking Boogie.” Overall, there are some things to like here in smaller doses, but being presented with nearly 70 minutes of music is one thing that should have stayed in the ’90s.
