Mutt (album)


Mutt is an album by the band Lost Dogs, released on Fools of the World and Lo-Fidelity Records in 2004.
For this record, band members chose three songs from their regular bands to remake them in the style of Lost Dogs. Mike Roe brought The 77s songs "It's So Sad" and "The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the Pride of Life" and his own solo track "Sunshine Down". Derri Daugherty brought the Choir songs, "Like a Cloud" and "To Cover You", plus the modern hymn "Beautiful Scandalous Night." Terry Scott Taylor brought the Daniel Amos songs "If You Want To", "Grace Is the Smell of Rain" and the first song D. A. recorded, "Ain't Gonna Fight It." The trio then added one new track to the end of the record, "I'm Setting You Free."
Instead of simply recreating the original performances, each song was given a facelift with different singers taking over the lead vocals. For example, Roe and Daugherty would tackle the D. A songs, and Taylor and Daugherty would sing the 77s tracks. The song that perhaps received the most noticeable rearrangement was the 77's "It's So Sad," which was turned into a rockabilly tune.
