Hot Dog Appreciation thread

[AllenLowe]

"how did this thread turn into an "Allen Lowe" thread? No disrespect, but you've turned a discussion about Lou Donaldson's Hot Dog, an album and artist you don't dig,... into an ongoing conversation with yourself about yourself."

it's my favorite subject - also, helps me forget about Hot Dog which I listened to once and which has led to a recurring nightmare:

I'm being chased by several white nuns with Afros carrying copies of Ann Coulter's latest book and an autographed copy of the album Hot Dog, and they are screaming: "one of Gould's", "one of Gould's" over and over - and than one of the nun's pulls out a Star of David and says: "Now I am married to Berigan. Now I am married to Berigan."

I have no idea what this dream means, but I wish it would stop as I'm tired of wetting my bed in fear -

In these discographies would it show if there were other unissued completed takes? Looks like the track Alligator Boogaloo was a second attempt. Wonder if the first take was a complete take?

Thanks for the article Jim.... Sophisticated Lou is a w/strings album...Stella, ect... so yeah, I guess the 'critic' dug it more than the 'trivial' funk of Everything I Play Is Funky. Typical of the era and critical establishment in general. Everything I Play is a GREAT LP.

FWIW, the "critic" (Michael Bourne) was at the time somewhere in his 20s and was very much a fan of jazz-rock, funk-jazz, etc., as well as those musics without the "-jazz" appendage.

No stuffy middle-aged "jazz purist" was he, at least not then.

On the CD reissue the logo is replaced and the cover cropped. The original is better.
