CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowitz Recommends: With their first album in seven years (sporting the uninspired title lll), this threesome of hard rock veterans (backing Steve Vai, Poison, Dream Theatre, and others) takes the sound of early ZZ Top, adds some Grand Funk Railroad pop hooks and explodes with a hunk of leathery blues rockers. No overdubs, no Pro-Tools polish, just three sweaty dudes feeding off each other’s, and the crowd’s, energy — with committed vocals, gutsy tunes and rugged riffs. Tight and tough. — HH
From the venue:
It’s been, well, a literal dog’s age since the vibrant powerhouse trio known as The Winery Dogs marked their recording territory with new music. But now, following a seven-year break from the studio, The Winery Dogs are back in full force with their aptly named third album III, which is set for release on February 3, 2023 on the band’s Three Dog Music label (via Burnside Distribution/The Orchard) on CD and all digital formats. (A vinyl edition of III will also be forthcoming in just a few months.) III was self-produced by The Winery Dogs and mixed by longtime band associate Jay Ruston.
