DBT #294 Dog Days
Of course Maggie the official Lucky Dog needed to be in this post. RIP Maggie.
This playlist started with a conversation about "Gonna Buy a Dog" by the Monkees with my friend Kevin Paar at his 60th birthday party. I'll have to pick up that song someday, but it got me tweaking a list. I have a bunch of songs without going to the vinyl library, plus I left out "Men being dogs" and "Dog Days" about summer; though I still love the expression and it is now summer.
1) Dog - Tom Dundee
The absolute best "Gonna get me a dog" song, RIP Tom.
2) Cats and Dog - Head and the Heart
Nothing peculiar here.
3) Comeback Kid (that's my Dog) - Brett Dennen
I love this song.
4) Dogs of New Orleans - Lisa Bastoni
Loved that this great album had a dog song.
5) Dogs - Christopher Gold
Here's our Wisconsin's version of Steve Earle, and don't mind those dogs in the alley.
6) Stray Dogs - Susan Werner
YEAH, Susan had a dog song too.
7) A Dog Named Freedom - Kinky Friedman
Not sure why Kinky's album that I got this from on Bandcamp has been taken down; here's the old cowboy singing it live. Boy sad recently heard the news, RIP Kinky.
8) If Dogs Run Free - Bob Dylan
Not a song I'd expect from Bob; actually forecasts his crooner days in this talking song.
9) Lost Dog - Sarah Jarosz
Yes I have tickets to see Sarah in September; so here's a interview introduction with the live song. Yep she's special and the September show is a bucket list one.
10) He's a Good Dog - Fred Eaglesmith
Oh my Mary Gauthier told a great story about songwriting with Fred during her concert at Moccasin Creek Fest. I'd love to see Fred someday; maybe Bill Poss will get him back to MCF again.
11) Stray Dog - Amigo the Devil
Ok I slipped in a metaphor song since Amigo gets treated like a stray dog; but he keeps it going through the song and howls at the end; plus I loved the addition of an Amigo song.
12) Through Your Dog's Eyes - Sage Christie (formerly Siena Christie)
Yikes, when you start knowing someone as well as their dog knows them. I love Sage's perspective here.
13) The Same Dog - Paul Cebar
Boy seeing Shinyribs this last weekend makes me want to see Sir Paul again.
14) Loving an Old Dog - Beth Wood
Love Beth, and she is a passionate old dog owner.
15) Dogtown - Harry Chapin
A dark story from the master storyteller; an extreme loving your dog song.
