Cracker - "Euro Trash Girl"

During the mid 1980's I was a huge fan of the California band Camper Van Beethoven.  When they disbanded around 1990 lead singer and guitarist David Lowery formed the band Cracker with guitarist Johnny Hickman.  Since that time, they have released 10 studio albums, two live albums, have toured extensively, and have had several hits along the way.  Their music is an eclectic mix of rock, punk, alt-country, psychedelia, blues and folk.
All these years later, Cracker is probably still best known for their second full-length recording, the 1993 album 'Kerosene Hat.' That record features our song-of-the-weekend selection "Euro Trash Girl" about which Daily Vault Music Review blogger Sean McCarthy writes:  Arguably the most beloved hidden track is the eight-minute-plus ode to bohemian listlessness "Euro Trash Girl." The song details one of the worst weekends you could ever have in a foreign country: having your car broken into, getting ripped off by a junkie, getting a case of the crabs, calling your folks for money only to have them hang up on you; but somehow, the chorus of “Yeah, I’ll search the world over for my angel in black” still leaves you hopeful.
I get a kick out of the story he tells and, for me, this one's as easy to slip into as an old pair of jeans.  ENJOY!
