The Dog were/are a remarkably unheralded prog rock band. Despite gaining plaudits initially as a ground breaking group by none other than the Rolling Stones magazine, their originality and musicianship were barely recognised in the UK. This compilation album showcases, in the main, tracks from two of the finest albums of the 70s or indeed any decade: At the Sound of the Bell and Pampered Menial.
David Surkamp has resurrected the name and the band in recent years, touring in the UK and Europe fairly regularly. Unfortunately, the proposed tour in 2022 was cancelled due to the death of the lead guitarist.
If they ever get back on the road, go see them!!
