Artist Description | Lost Dogs
The Lost Dogs began as an exciting collaboration between four brilliant frontmen/songwriters, creating music that transcended the musical boundaries of their respective bands. Terry Taylor (DA, the Swirling Eddies), Gene Eugene (Adam Again), Derri Daugherty (The Choir), and Michael Roe (The 77s, MichaelRoe.com) over the past ten years have released five eclectic albums of traditional American music (country, folk, blues, rock) with a decidedly modern feel. Over the course of time, the Lost Dogs have built a loyal and growing base of alt-country and roots fans including genre artists such as Buddy and Julie Miller, the Kentucky Headhunters, and Phil Madeira.
Scenic Routes was released in 1992 to rave reviews and incredulous praise. This record contained the song Breathe Deep, which quickly spread throughout the country as a modern hymn. What most thought was a one-shot deal took on a life of its own and 1993 saw the release of Little Red Riding Hood, a songwriting tour de force which brought an infusion of excitement and enthusiasm as the band toured and played many festivals throughout the country. Their third album was released in 1996, entitled The Green Room Serenade Volume One, and was followed by a major tour of the US. As the Dogs continued to tour, they developed a solid reputation for an engaging, comedic, and energetic live show.
In late 1999, the Dogs released, Gift Horse, which featured some of the Dogs’ best songwriting to date and instantly became a favorite among fans. Diamond to Coal, the album’s first single, garnered solid radio play and continued to establish the Lost Dogs as an exciting and authentic roots rock act. Shortly after that release, Gene Eugene passed away in his sleep at the Green Room, the legendary recording studio that gave birth to all of the Dogs albums up until that time.
Real Men Cry, the most uniformly complete Dogs’ album since Scenic Routes, debuted to both commercial and critical praise in 2001. In support of their offering, Taylor, Daugherty and Roe embarked upon an acoustic “three legged” tour that was hosted by more than fifty (50) venues.
Having played many of the 2002 summer festivals, the energetic canines have just released their newest installment, Nazarene Crying Towel, a twelve (12) song gem featuring bluesy romps, gospel stomps, acoustic stirrings and the harmonies that make the angels weep.
