Gravest Gravy finally unearths the album The Cramps recorded in 1977, a long-shelved set of Memphis sessions that captures the original lineup at their most feral and released at last in 2026.
In October 1977, Lux Interior, Poison Ivy, Bryan Gregory and Nick Knox headed to Ardent Studios in Memphis with Big Star's Alex Chilton producing. A handful of those recordings surfaced on the Gravest Hits EP in 1979, and later in the 1980s Lux and Ivy, along with Chilton, mixed more of them with a full album in mind. That album, Gravest Gravy, never came out. Now the tapes have been restored and assembled, with liner notes from Henry Rollins.
What you hear is the band's psychobilly blueprint in raw form: reverb-drenched guitars, Knox's caveman stomp and Lux's hiccuping, horror-movie yelp. "TV Set" was planned as an A-side and shows why, all lurching menace and B-movie glee. "The Natives Are Restless" crackles with nervy energy, while covers like Roy Orbison's "Problem Child" and Jimmy Lloyd's "Rocket in My Pocket" show how deeply the band loved obscure rockabilly and stripped it to the bone.
For Cramps devotees, this is a missing chapter returned from the grave. Turn it up and let the swamp in.
