"Music nowadays seems to have lost something. Maybe it is that digital production has largely eliminated the aspect of human "error".When I listen to this CD however, I feel as if there is hope for modern music. There is musical redemption in this CD...songs written from the depths of man's heart, undefiled by the cold editing of machines. I haven't heard many CD's as truly musical as this one. This CD captivates me, because the song writing is so "transparent". By transparent, I mean that as you listen to the songs, you can see and hear past the music, and right into the hearts of those who wrote it.The human heart is layed out on a table on this CD. There are no alabis. There is no masking one's self. There is no hiding from truth. Buy this CD."

Simple, moving work by talented artists

"Lost Dogs is comprised of three "legends" in Christian rock n' roll music. Earlier albums included a fourth member, legend Gene Eugene, but this album was recorded after Gene Eugene's death. Each member brings a unique aspect to the band, and the three parts alternately work together and in contrast to create a multi-layered sound.



'Nazarene Crying Towel' is something of a different flavor for the Lost Dogs. [For an explanation of the title, read the wonderfully written liner notes. The liner notes alone go along way to recommend this album.] The band members seem to reach a little deeper into their Christian roots in these songs, with a simplier approach to song lyrics and melodies. Biblical influence is readily apparent in 'Nazarene Crying Towel,' while the songs hint at even more.



For those who have loved the Lost Dogs for many years, it is important to note that this album maintains a level of seriousness that some other albums lack. Though a song or line may bring a smile, the album doesn't track into fun the way that 'Little Red Riding Hood' did. This approach doesn't detract from the album, however, and perhaps is related to the change brought by Gene Eugene's passing.



This album is a 'must have' for all Lost Dogs fans, but also for someone who is looking for music with a deeper meaning. Although the songs make up a straightfoward message, they are thought provoking and tug at your emotions. This album could be thought of as a really good highway billboard. Attention getting. Easy to grasp. Means much more than can be articulated in the alloted space. Definetly worth the time and money.

They never disappoint...

"The Lost Dogs is one of the best bands in the world because it is made up of three guys (four when the late Gene Eugene was still around) from different bands who came together with the best of themselves - their talent, creativity, honesty, and soul - to produce incredible music. This is REAL music - seasoned musicians who are so gifted and so giving. The songs on this album are humble, honest, passionate, and thought-provoking. Buy it now - you will not be disappointed!"
