"I Hear The Call" by The Unforgiven

The Unforgiven were a little-known rock band from California that exuded a cheesy cowboy theme and gang vocals. Their one and only album dropped in 1986 and was self-titled.

The record didn't produce any charting singles, but some of the highlights deserved more attention, such as "All Is Quiet On The Western Front," "The Loner," and "I Hear The Call."

One of the band's guitarists, Johnny Hickman, went on to co-found the alternative rock band Cracker.

"Get Off This" by Cracker

After the demise of college radio darlings Camper Van Beethoven, David Lowery found success in a new band called Cracker. They had an airplay hit with "Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)" in 1992, but actually hit the chart for the first time with their 1994 song, "Low". "Low" went to #64 and would remain the band's biggest chart achievement. "I Hate My Generation" would reach #67 in 1996, their only other charting single.

"Get Off This" comes from the band's second album, "Kerosene Hat". Strangely, this catchy little pop rock tune didn't chart, but helped push the album to #59.
