About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Dr. Dog have been steadily refining their sound since the unexpected success of Easy Beat, and Fate continues that trend. They've still got all the right classic rock moves, clever production ideas, and the ragged-but-right vocals and bouncy bass of Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken's tough guitar and sweet vocals. It sounds much like We All Belong, but this time out there are also some really nice string and horn arrangements and a bit more utilization of studio production. But a nice studio can be a double-edged sword. The songs sound great, but at times it seems that the detail and adornment are more important than the songs (most noticeably on the opener, which is nearly swallowed by backing vocals). The sound effects that link the songs and clumsy tape edits seem a tad forced (as if to replace some of the genuine weirdness on some of Easy Beat), and some of the titles and lyrical themes seem recycled from We All Belong. That being said, Fate is still a thoroughly enjoyable album from a fine band. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

Outstanding Roots Rock Songwritingby Anonymous

August 29, 2008: This band gets rockin without getting noisy, and gets folksy without being boring. Sometimes I'm reminded of Dylan lyrics, and other times I'm reminded of Pink Floyd guitar riffs. Not a filler song on the CD.

August 22, 2008: This is the first time I'd ever heard Dr. Dog, and I was hooked right away. They seem to almost be a throwback, a modern classic rock band. Several vibes seem to run through the album - sometimes I think I hear bits of Tom Petty in the vocals, or Paul McCartney in the melody. It's hard to pin down. All I know is that it's good and I'm going to be checking out their backlist.
