Terry Edwards & the Scapegoats - Dog Food
Sorry about the lack of blog yesterday. This computer died on me in spectacular fashion, and I was forced to reinstall Windows. Since it only came with a pre-installed OEM copy, this was more awkward than it might have been.
Anyway, back when I started Doklands I had a policy of never featuring more than one track from any one album. It was a very good policy. It kept the music on here from slipping into formulaic patterns, and also meant that I wasn't taking away from album sales. 500 or so tracks later, it became clear that it was not a policy that was suited to daily blogging. To mark the occasion of this blog's first repeat, I'm returning to the first album that ever got plundered for my daily writings, I Didn't Get Where I Am Today by Terry Edwards & the Scapegoats.
Dog Food is their cover of Iggy & the Stooges classic I Wanna Be Your Dog. It's been covered many times before, but seldom as vigorously as this. Regardless of what volume you play this song at, it is loud. Edwards is a guy who has paid his dues in bands and as a session musician for over 20 years, and it's clear that he's one of the very best. This is a blistering arrangement, ballsy and bluesy, and the distortion on the vocals is just so. You need this one.
