Rocking songscripting from the Cracker family
Chris LeRoy and Johnny Hickman were The Dangers way back before Johnny went on to play guitar in The Unforgiven and then co-form Cracker, with whom he still performs today. The Dangers didn’t release albums back then, but Dedication saw some of those old (and some new) recordings finally released a couple of years ago. This new album, without Johnny except for one guest role, is more rocking and coherent than Dedication, and is really more of a follow up to 2007’s ‘Life’s So Hard Make It Softer’ by Chris LeRoy’s other band Death Of Me. Both albums rock with a youthful rawness that belies the 30-year history of this band, sounding at times like the Stones – a band that seems to run through LeRoy’s veins.
