CHD III Review

Outstanding songwriting and the ultimate groove are what awaits you with CHD III, Cathouse Dogs' 3rd and best record. This is a band that always played well and delivered crisp performances but they've taken that all up to another echelon with their current offering, which will surely leave listeners with various Cathouse Dog songs spinning happily in their heads throughout the next week or so.

To get a glimpse of how well this band plays together, you must take in "Diamonds" where the rollin' sound and fury of the band is fully evident. The last half of the song in particular shows the cohesiveness of the rhythm section. Drummer Randy James, along with bassist Paul Whiteside, and guitarists Mark Higginbottom and Stephen Ruppert lay down a flawless backdrop that pulls off the rare feat of controlled looseness, Ã la the Rolling Stones. The music is a fusion of Southern and Classic rock but since its melded together so perfectly, it's a brand new sound for this era. Singer Todd Sharman rides on top of the wave and takes each song to its righteous destination.
