mad dog

After three solo releases in a span of three years, Who bassist John Entwistle decided to form his own 'band' for his fourth non-Who release, MAD DOG. Credited to John Enwistle's Ox, the band greatly expanded to include horns, keyboards, and strings to the usual rock band set-up (bass, vocals, guitar, drums). Entwistle's most ambitious release contains quite a few highlights, such as the autobiographical "Cell Number 7" (which recounts The Who's 1974 Montreal arrest after trashing a hotel room), the country-tinged title track, and horn-driven "I Fall To Pieces." Entwistle attempted to launch a massive tour in support of MAD DOG (complete with his new extended band), but the nightmarish logistics proved to be insurmountable.In this reissue guests include Eddie Jobson on keyboards, violin, Tony Ashton on organ and Graham Deakin on drums, full blooded brass and string section adds extra power tracks like 'Mad Dog' and 'Drowning'. Nine tracks total TRACK LISTING: 1. I Fall To Pieces 2. Cell Number 7 3. You Can Be So Mean 4. Lady Killer 5. Who In The Hell? 6. Mad Dog 7. Jungle Bunny 8. I'm So Scared 9. Drowning
