“I do believe that there’s no more tricks up my sleeve”
Formed in Philadelphia in 1999, Dr. Dog has built a career around an eclectic style. They have ignored popular music staying true to themselves; much like My Morning Jacket, the band they began opening for that truly put them on the map. At just under forty minutes long, Dr. Dog has released an album which is in many very similar to its predecessor, 2008’s Fate. The biggest difference is that Dr. Dog have brought in talent to help with the production for the first time. Co-producing this record is none other than Rob Schnapf who is best known for his work with Beck, Elliot Smith and the Vines.
With backup harmonies consisting mainly of “Ooo”s and “Aaah”s, Dr. Dog often sounds like they’re from a different era. A cross between Wilco and Spoon with a hint of the Flaming Lips, Dr. Dog is incredibly good at releasing laid back, catchy tunes. Opening with “Stranger,” a simple bass groove lays the foundation for a track that declares “I do believe that there’s no more tricks up my sleeve.” This statement, as far as the production is concerned, holds true for the vast majority of the album. Although the occasional eccentric effect or background instrumentation has always made Dr. Dog intriguing, the songwriting is the feature of Shame, Shame and they don’t disappoint.
It is possible that after extensive touring, Dr. Dog wanted to record an album that more closely captured the feeling of a live performance. Although the song “Later” throws a lot of effects into the mix, the album as a whole sounds like an undiscovered vinyl that finally fell into the hands of someone who was willing to distribute it. Fans of their previous work will love this record, but for those unfamiliar with Dr. Dog, this is a great album to get started with.
Similar Artists: Wilco, Spoon
Track Suggestion: “I Only Wear Blue”
The Underdogs
Seriously, whats the deal? Dr. Dog remains one of those bands with reviews that are average at best. Listening to alot of music now days, its refreshing to year some bands that just play. Not a concept album, and not a album trying to find something new in their sound. This is music that you want to listen to when you just shared a bottle of your favorite alchoholic beverage and just talk about music, and when you know the words you can’t help but sing. Dr. Dog have made a style, bar-indie music, and i don’t mean this in a bad context. Lyricly, the album is superb. The bonus tracks alone are stand outs on the album. “It” gave me chills, some of the best words i’ve heard in a song. Getting to the point, these guys make good music, plain and simple. The best release to date by Dr. Dog and will surely be one of the best of 2010.
Listen to “Where’d did all the time go”? and “shame shame”
Another Classic
This is another incredible album by Dr. Dog, a great example of these artists’ fearless trust in their instincts and musicianship. This band’s sound is at once familiar and distinct. They’ve mastered the art of trying on different musical coats, always creating something new while retaining that vintage Dr. Dog-feel. Lyrics are always soulful, interesting, and catchy. In reaching for that epic, full sound, some songs get pretty far out. But if you appreciate that sort of thing, you will love this album, and everything they’ve done since Easy Beat. And even if you don’t, you will probably still love most of this album.
By the way, all of their albums are pretty tame compared to how they play these songs live. Definitely check them out if they come near your town. I’ve been to two of their shows and they were both wild and funky as hell.

The “Cool Ruler” is still one of the best.
Gregory Issac never fails his longtime fans. He still manages to keep his warmth and style on his recordings. Another great from the great reggae artist, Gregory Issac.
