Dog Days
BR5-49
Released:
Label:
Dualtone
The firecracker Chris Scruggs (grandson of Earl) joined BR5-49 on 2004's Tangled in the Pines and then quit, leaving vocal and guitar duties to founder Chuck Mead. So naturally Dog Days isn't as punchy as its predecessor, but the LP's mellow, Western swing-tinged style includes kitschy Hawaiian-sounding lap steel and vintage vocals that recall A.M. radio.
