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.

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.
