Between the Cracks, Volume One is the second compilation album by the solo artist Dwight Twilley based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was released by the label Not Lame Archives. While this compilation is a collection of rarities from Twilley's back-catalog, the album itself has become a rarity.
Content[]
Twilley is an extensive archivist of his personal exploits, and he's saved nearly everything he's recorded on his own and with the Dwight Twilley Band. Between the Cracks, Volume One features several songs from this collection, including several tracks from The Luck album. There's also a demo of a song from about 1973 featuring just Twilley and a piano.
Twilley himself annotates the songs, some of which he has specific recollections about and others that he doesn't even remember writing. Dating from 1973 to 1994, they include polished pop/rock performances in the standard Twilley style, with its driving guitars and heavily echoed vocals, as well as oddities such as a Christmas song ("Christmas Love"), a near re-creation of the sound of Alvin & the Chipmunks called "Eli Bolack" ("I have no idea how, or why, this happened," Twilley writes), and a stately ballad that, as the artist notes, sounds like a song from a musical ("Where the Birds Fly").
