Straw Dogs was selected to play the 8th Annual Jeff Buckley Tribute in Chicago, where they performed two songs off the new record, including "Amelia."Here is a review of the new record, "Tell the Rising Sun," from www.smother.net:"Roots-rockers Straw Dogs tell it like it is to the 'Rising Sun' or anyone within listening range. They recall the Jayhawks in their vocal department but also make sure that their twang is up a billion notches more than anyone else. Lyrically its crafty and clever yet downright real. Their music is top-notch and would be quite entertaining to see live since the guitars just wail with tone and power."Want more songs?
