The Lost Cabin and the Mystery Trees

I was going to call this post “The Lost Dogs Come Home” but that would have be too easy, too cliché. It would have also, however, been completely accurate. The Lost Cabin and the Mystery Trees is a true return to form for the Lost Dogs and the best music they’ve produced since the passing of the great Gene Eugene. As talented as Terry Taylor, Mike Roe and Derri Dougherty are, I wasn’t sure this 3-legged dog could ever stand on it’s own again the way it had with Gene. For those of you that haven’t ever heard the Lost Dogs and don’t know who these people are, just know that they are a super-group of talented independent artists that play the best blend of alt, Americana and pop that you can possibly imagine. They are, unfortunately, still one of the best-kept secrets in music.

The Dogs have now made Steve Hindalong an official forth member. This addition along with some of the best songs Terry and the boys have written make this one a must have. The lyrics alone are well worth the price of admission. I will warn those of you that frequent this blog that this release does have a bit of an alt-country and Americana vibe…not my standard fare, but the melodies and lyrics are so good it really does transcend any genre preferences you may have and there’s plenty of that Beatles-style pop influence in the writing.

The Dogs have returned indeed, this is by far the best album since Gift Horse. I think the addition of Skinny is just what this band needed. With the loss of Gene it was a difficult role to fill, I think Steve has done a wonderful job. Five stars on this album, Broken Like Brooklyn is probably my favorite, followed by That's Where Jesus Is.
