The Blue Dogs

Armed with the new material, Houck, Futch, Greg Walker (drums), David Stewart (lead guitar) entered The House of Blues Studio in LA in early July of 2003 with Don Gehman who brought to the recording process his years of knowledge and ability to evoke great songs from the band. "What stands out are the number of quality songs." Gehman recalls, "Most of the bands I've worked with are lucky to have 3 really great songs on the album, and the rest is filler. These guys have at least 9 or 10 really great songs on this record." Standouts including the Houck and Foster-penned "Half of My Mistakes" and "What's Wrong With Love Songs", the latter written by Houck and Foster over email and voice mail during the recording process. Country rocker "Cosmic Cowboy" sung by Futch and the classic Country homage to mothers everywhere, "Make Your Mama Proud" prove that the Blue Dogs are at the pinnacle of their craft, ready and willing to explore a multitude of styles while at the same time staying true to the soul of the Blue Dogs.
