We May Be Skinny & Wirey is the debut studio album by British indie rock band The Crocketts.

"Loved Ya Once", "Flower Girl" and "Explain" were released as singles in 1998, none of which charted.

[1] Critical reception to We May Be Skinny & Wirey was generally positive.

A review of the album in music magazine NME awarded it a score of seven out of ten, with the writer proclaiming that "The Crocketts avoid earnest old-world spirituality and feckless odes to drink.

They prefer to rage hard and curdle folk melodies with Davey [MacManus, singer]'s splendidly Americanised primal howl and an intriguing array of influences that ranges from the Pixies to Violent Femmes".
