Give Yourself a Hand
''Give Yourself a Hand'' is the fourth album by the Crash Test Dummies, released in 1999 through ViK. Records. It is their final album for BMG. The album spawned a quirky hit "Keep a Lid on Things". The Times review of the album described it as "the best music of their career...an album of rare wit and vitality."
== Background ==
For their third album ''A Worm's Life'', Crash Test Dummies were given a lot of creative freedom, thanks to the success of ''God Shuffled His Feet''. However, the album was considered a disappointment and, the band's label, BMG pressured the band into immediately writing a follow-up. During the initial song-writing process, the band wrote and recorded 35 demos, all of which were rejected by BMG.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Phillyist Interviews... Brad Roberts of Crash Test Dummies )〕 The demos from these sessions would be shelved until 2011, when a selection of them were released on the compilation album Demo-litions.
In 1998, the band would then proceed to write and record the album that became ''Give Yourself a Hand''. At the time, Brad Roberts had moved to Harlem and was greatly inspired by the urban music he heard in the area. As a result, he began writing an album that was full of soul and hip-hop beats, including Roberts singing in falsetto for the first time. The sound of the album can also be attributed to the contributions from co-writer/producer Greg Wells.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Crash Test Dummies goes hip-hop on next album )〕
The band's keyboardist Ellen Reid is featured singing lead vocals on several tracks, including the album's second single "Get You in the Morning".
