Still, going double-platinum virtually guarantees a sequel, and Kracker recently unleashed his follow-up, No Stranger to Shame, on an unsuspecting public. Like his boss, Kracker's beer-battered fluff harks back to the days when Lynyrd Skynyrd tapestries adorned the walls of basement bedrooms everywhere. Not that Kracker and Skynyrd have much in common, other than a fanbase with more tattoos than brain cells. Eschewing Rock's penchant for trailer-park rapping, Kracker settles into a half-baked batch of mid-tempo faux soul, including an all-too-faithful rendition of Dobie Gray's don't-go-there signature number, "Drift Away."
