Lux & Ivy Favorites is a hand-picked selection from the legendary playlist that’s been floating around the internet for two decades—featuring rare, offbeat, and forgotten 45s that Lux Interior (RIP) and Poison Ivy of The Cramps championed in interviews and claimed as personal favorites. These are the sounds that shaped The Cramps’ signature style—primitive rockabilly, sleazy R&B, twisted novelty tunes, and raw garage rock. Tune in for a romp through the strange and savage underbelly of rock ‘n’ roll! Less
