Customer Review: A worthy entry in the Dogs catalog
Have to say I had some reservations about buying this. Months before, this item had been unavailable, and desperate for a shot o' the Dogs, I ordered the fairly awful "When Bastards Go To Hell." But, I told myself, THIS one is 3/4 of the original Doggies. How can ya go wrong? And indeed, I made the right choice. While this is no "Dynamite Jet Saloon" or "King of the Thieves", it's definitely in the classic Dogs mold, perhaps a tad more commercial. It took me a couple of spins to get used to Share's backing vocals, but after a couple listens, they really complement ol' Tyla's sandpaper-soaked-in-Jack growl quite nicely. Standout tracks are "Get By" (coulda been huge); "Spooks", "Angelina," which has some fine licks from Jo; "Quick Joey Small"; and "Singin'", a classic pub singalong if ever there was one. If you're a fan of the REAL Dogs (not the rubbish that's being passed off now), this belongs in your collection. Some of Tyla's finest writing ever. If you're not a fan - you should be.
