Crawl with Me is the debut solo studio album by Art Bergmann, released July 5, 1988 on Duke Street Records.[1]

The album had originally been recorded in demo form by Bob Rock and Paul Hyde, but the studio release was produced by John Cale.[2] The album received generally favourable reviews, although critics noted that Cale's production had toned down Bergmann's signature guitar sound in favour of a more keyboard-oriented production.[2]

At the Juno Awards of 1989, Bergmann was nominated for Most Promising Male Vocalist, and James O'Mara and Kate Ryan were nominated for Best Music Video for Bergmann's "Our Little Secret".[3]

In 2009, Bergmann's bassist Ray Fulber remastered the original Rock and Hyde demos for release as the album Lost Art Bergmann.[4]
