Hailing from the streets of Little Rock, Arkansas, The Salty Dogs have incorporated hip sounds into their own blend of feel good country music. The Salty Dogs won the 2003 Arkansas Times Musician's Showcase for the "Best Original Band in Arkansas." The Salty Dogs' music has also received kudos from Deke Dickerson to Jason Ringenberg. The Salty Dogs' music has been featured on the TLC network hit show, Trading Spaces. Also, they have also recently recorded with the rock-n-roll legend, D.J. Fontana. The Salty Dogs' latest effort, Autoharpoon, is scheduled to be released through Big Bender Records/Hapi Skratch Entertainment on May 15th, 2007.
Autoharpoon reviews:"You did a great job on this CD. Great singing, Great cover, Great songs, Great music, Great production!" ~Bucky Barrett/Roy Orbison's former guitarist
"The best country and western band in Arkansas..." ~Localist magazine(Autoharpoon)
"...a solid, twelve-song collection of honky-tonk, Western swing and Southern gospel." ~Arkansas Times
"Autoharpoon is unpretentious, joyous, and as pure as mountain dew." ~Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
"Second time out and the Salty Dogs have again produced an excellent real country record". ~Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Big Bender)
"An absolute delight from start to finish. Fans of Country Music from a bygone era will definitely love this CD, and want to learn more about this talented group!"~Chuck Dauphin, Music News Nashville
"Brad Williams has a fine voice for this material (the band aren't bad either) - whether serenading, gospelling or grieving, he always convinces."~David Cowling,Americana UK: The UK Home for Alt-Country, Americana and Alternative
"Williams, in any event, writes and chooses songs well. Online I've run onto several reviews who hear Bakersfield in Autoharpoon, and I suppose it's there. But I am more struck by the easy country-soul running through this, even the Johnny Cash knock-off "When My Blood Runs Cold" -- which is a darn good Cash knock-off, by the way."Holding To My Lord" (a Williams co-write with, if I read the liners right, the late Roy "Papaw" Wagner) is first-rate southern gospel."~Grant Alden,
No Depression/Grant's Rants
