Crack A Smile...And More
Poison fans will love this: unapologetic, full-on raunch 'n roll and tongue-in-cheek power ballads.Crack a Smileconsists of 12 tracks of unrequited glam-punk, including a drunken late-night rendition of Dr Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone" and the anthemic "Best Thing You Ever Had." And theMore!offers bonus outtakes, the B-sides, and the self-deprecating "Tragically Unhip." All this, plus four of Poison's top 10 singles, as recorded live on MTV'sUnpluggedin 1990. The highlight? The heavy, albeit acoustic version of "Unskinny Bop," replete with screaming girls and loose harmonies.--Everett True
