The Bros. Landreth - Dog Ear [CD]

Dog Ear is the fourth full-length album from acclaimed Americana band The Bros. Landreth. It is a product of spending a lot of time on the road together touring their last album Come Morning and a 10th Anniversary release of their debut album Let it Lie. They came back from tour energized by their live chemistry and tried to write and record with that same energy and spirit. The result is an album that is injected with the live energy of their shows, but also the careful tenderness and production work they are known for.The album is about figuring out what it means to be a consistent and present force for the people in your life that you care about. To show up and be there for your friends, your kids, your brother, your bandmates, your partner. This album, in a way, is leaving behind little crumbs of the things they hold dear. Hopefully these crumbs lead you to the heart of the things they hold dear. It's about leaving something behind for their kids too. Like folded dog-ear corners in a well-loved book, it marks the history and love in your life for others to find later, to keep you from losing your place.Dog Ear is full of rip-roaring guitar-driven romps, tender introspection, vocal harmonies, wild tones and lots of love and care. The album also features two magical appearances from Bonnie Raitt and one from Begonia. They both imbued a wonderful vocal counterpoint to Dave and Joey's sound to create some truly special moments.
