Product Review

Dr. Dog releases the first ever document of the band€s famous live shows, Live at a Flamingo Hotel out January 13th via Anti-. Culled from the band€s 2014 North American tour, the songs here cover all of Dr. Dog€s seven studio albums, ranging over a decade of material. Says bassist/vocalist Toby Leaman, €œWe€re one thing on a record and a different thing live. We€ve always built our fans through the live show. Somebody goes to a Dr. Dog show and hopefully comes again and brings somebody with them. We see it build in a town by coming back several times. Our live show is vital to how we view ourselves as a band.€ The collection serves essentially as a Dr. Dog greatest hits, with a running time nearly equal to a live set€"and longer than what will fit on a traditional CD, as the album will see only a digital and four-sided vinyl release. From hits like €œShadow People€ and €œLonesome€ to live staples like €œCounty Line,€ €œThe Rabbit, the Bat and the Reindeer,€ and €œAin€t It Strange,€ this is Dr. Dog as god intended.
