This really may be one of their best ones, if not the best. They weren't kidding when they said that it would be good. Usually you have to take it with a grain of salt when someone or an artist says "This is are best album yet" or "It's a return to their best stuff".
My favorite discs were always the first 3. This is at least up there with them for me. I love the variety which was not really heard since The Green Room Serenade.
I still need to take in all the lyrics.
# 1 ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!! |

I'm really impressed with the quality of the music put out by the Lost Dogs and their other bands during the past year or so.
First, The Choir hit a home run with O How The Mighty Have Fallen.
Second, Daniel Amos re-released their self-titled debut with bonus discs.
Third, The Lost Dogs hit a home run with The Lost Cabin And The Mystery Trees.
Fourth, The 77's DVD was released by Lo-Fidelity. Excellent.
Fifth??? I can't wait for the new 77's CD.
These guys are on a creative high!!!

yup, let's just remember to keep supporting them during times of creativity lulls ~ so they'll still be around for those creative highs! 
I'm enjoying DA's 30th Anniversary and looking forward to the Dogs disc, which I should have later this week. Hopefully we'll be able to get the 77s DVD soon too.

Exactly... even though some folks weren't happy with Island Dreams, the sales from that album were a big part of the funding of Lost Cabin. You need those minor releases to fund the bigger ones.

I don't feel so bad for buying it then.

btw, I don't think Island Dreams was lacking in creativity. It was just pulled from their archives when they were having a creativity lull. I am thankful they did.

I got the new CD from the Cornerstone Afterparty yesterday.
Excellent music, some of the best I've ever heard from the Dogs.
"Interesting" lyrics - bordering on coarse, sorta like Bibleland at times. Best example: what rhymes with "word" and starts with a "T"?

You can always find somebody to like things different. I gave Island Dreams to a coworker ... |
Everytime I see this word printed somewhere, I first think it says cow-orker.

The Lost Dogs are at it again. Their latest release, The Lost Cabin And The Mystery Trees, is similar to Little Red Riding Hood in the variety of musical directions and lyrical excellence. The legends known as Terry Taylor, Mike Roe, and Derri Daugherty return for their ninth studio effort sporting a new Doggie. Steve Hindalong is officially Lost now, although his presence was quite evident in last year's Island Dreams.
Broken Like Brooklyn opens the CD. It's a comparative ballad of the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn, bringing dismay and angst to their faithful followers, to "losing the best". An alt-country tribute that sets the tone of the inner sleeve dedication "in loving memory of Gene Eugene, who was with us every step of the way in the making of this album." Devil's Elbow is a remake of a Daniel Amos song. It has a rollicking rockabilly feel with jangly guitars. As usual, Taylor has written the bulk of the material (8 out of 11 songs) and it is lyrically masterful. The title track
is reminiscient of his more recent solo work, replete with gorgeous harmonies. Daugherty and Hindalong wrote Whispering Memories, a heart-wrenching country ballad of bygone love. Matt Slocum's pedal steel guitar adds to the mood. One More Day, the lone Roe-penned song, is a prayer from a flawed individual for one more opportunity "to show someone the way." This should be an anthem/prayer for all of us. Slocum again works his steel magic to complete this country number. This Business Is Goin' Down is a jangler that describes love based on financial success. I hope we who live from paycheck to paycheck will never experience this scenario. Hardening My Heart is a beautiful ballad of lost love, sung to perfection by Mike Roe. Only One Bum In Corona Del Mar shatters the melancholy mood. It's a shared narrative, humorous, Cowboy musical. "Is that Stacy Keach passed out on the beach? No, it's only our bum from Corona del Mar." Get Me Ready fires you up to take on whatever the future throws at you: terrorists, politicians, plague, war, natural disasters, the Rapture, the Judgement, .......Da Vinci......well, maybe not. This rocker not only pumps you up, but it's the most rockingest Dogs song since Sweet Work Of Love. The Choir boys wrote Burn It Up, dedicated to our beloved Doctor Love (Mike Roe). It's about Mike & Terry travelling to Nashville to record this album. Terry & Mike offer kudos to Red Dog and Indie Hindie on one verse. This one has the late nite chill vibe of The Choir's O How The Mighty Have Fallen. That's Where Jesus Is concludes the recording. In the vein of Breathe Deep and Pray Where You Are, this instant classic brings to mind that Jesus is in the lowliest and neediest among us.
The Lost Cabin And The Mystery Trees is a well-produced professional musical endeavor by quality, veteran musicians, assisted by the studio talents of Tim Chandler and Matt Slocum. Lost Dogs are currently touring. Check out www.thelostdogs.com for tour dates & to purchase this enjoyable CD.
