Description: Released in May 1980, Songs The Lord Taught Us introduced The Cramps’ unhinged fusion of punk energy and rockabilly swagger—later dubbed psychobilly. Recorded with Alex Chilton in Memphis, the album channels raw garage-rock grit, campy horror aesthetics, and a manic sense of fun. It stands as a defining statement of The Cramps’ outsider ethos, influencing generations of underground bands drawn to its mix of retro rebellion and chaotic charm.
