Hair of the Dog – Mary Mac

Biography
There are two groups that have the name “Hair of the Dog”
1) A Irish Folk Band
2) A now defunct Hard Rock Band
1) Hair Of The Dog formed in 1992, bringing together six of the most talented musicians from the upstate New York acoustic music scene. Since then, Hair Of The Dog has entertained thousands of fans of all ages with their unique blend of Celtic, rock, folk and bluegrass music. Their high energy sound, smooth four-part harmonies and tight instrumental attack has made them America’s number one Irish folk band, and an international success as well.
2) Hair of the Dog WAS and is now defunct, appropriately, a Spitfire band who understandably believes the history of rock begins with Aerosmith and ends with Zeppelin. Such adherence to barbecue boogie seems refreshing, but the natural questions rear: Does HOD possess tunes worthy of its influences, and can the quartet rise above being a Saturday kegger attraction (not that there’s anything wrong with that)? The good news is this record rolls out super-sized rock. The lyrics are predictably enjoyable: barnyard liaisons, monster truck dalliances, and party-right fighting. Dealer-ode “Cadillac Jack” won HOD a recording contract, and “Stomp” features some mega scraping. The violent “Whisky Tango” quotes Steven Tyler quoting Frank Zappa. And, thankfully, not a single bawling ballad exists. The playing comes off tight and fast enough to avoid blooze plodding, these riotous boys just need to stumble across a rifforama or turn of phrase as gargantuan as those slung by Nugent or even Skid Row to break from the pack.

There are two bands with the name, an Irish Folk Band and a Heavy Metal band. Someone keeps deleting the information regarding the Heavy Metal Band. There are two bands with the same name, get over it.
