The stray dog skin#
It’s best to keep a safe distance from stray dogs, and if you come into contact with their fur, wash your hands and skin as soon as possible. Contact with stray dogs can expose you and your pets to lice and harmful bacteria. After the demise of Stray Dog, Walden went on to write and produce the theme songs for several popular American television programs, most notably thirtysomething and The West Wing. Stray dogs can also be ridden with fleas and ticks and are often unclean. They produced one self-titled 1972 album on the Rare Earth label. Sampson had played previously in another power trio, Road, with Noel Redding, and American guitarist Rod Richards. Only two tracks, "I Would" and the instrumental "Worldwinds", retained a sound and stylistic approach reminiscent of their debut. Much of the material on While You're Down There was written and sung by Dulaine, with founder Walden's contributions being reduced. The additions of Dulaine and Cabaza radically changed the band's sound from blues-based power trio to a more subdued and commercial AOR rock sound. Stray Dog's follow-up album, While You're Down There (1974), was co-produced by Austin Godsey and the band, which featured new members Tim Dulaine on second guitar and vocals, and keyboardist Luis Cabaza. In March 1973, the British music magazine, NME, reported that Stray Dog were to support ELP on their world tour, which was due to commence in Germany at the end of that month. Lake produced three tracks on the 1973 debut self-titled album, Stray Dog, with the band producing the remainder. Randy Reeder was replaced by Leslie Sampson. They were introduced to Neville Chesters, a former road manager for Emerson, Lake & Palmer, who convinced the band to go to London where, along with a friend and a former tour manager Lorenzio Mazzio, he introduced Snuffy Walden to Greg Lake, who signed them to ELP's label, Manticore Records. They moved to Denver, Colorado, where they became popular. The band originally formed in Texas under the name "Aphrodite".
