  • About this album: Why don’t you go put a record on? Why don’t you sing me a little song? This was released on vinyl in 2024 as a highly anticipated first pressing (Record Store Day exclusive) of what was originally a live-stream release of a performance during the pandemic that took place after the release of the band’s “At The Moonbase” record. The album was released digitally through Lame-O Records in the fall of 2022.
  • Metacritic score: NA.
  • Grammy Nominations: None.
  • Song To Sample: All due respect to the band’s Dylan covers, I’ll go with the cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “If I Needed You” (also famously covered by Emmylou Harris and Don Willams).
  • Trivia bonus: Band founder Jake Ewald was inspired to name the band after the town he passed on his way from Philadelphia to his parents' home in Delaware, but he discovered that another European band was already using the name, so he added Dog to differentiate. He hoped that the other band would break up so he could drop the Dog from the name. No such luck, I guess. SBD also appeared my list of best albums last year.
