VA - Mans Best Friend: A Canine Cornucopia (2016)

It's A Dog's Life, so the saying goes. From a musical standpoint it's hard to argue with that. Our canine chums have been celebrated in song for decades. Not to be unfair to felines, and with apologies for any mixed metaphors, Rex, Towser and Fido certainly seem to have had the lion's share of audio tributes over the years. Audio tributes, but never a CD that brings the best of them together in one enriched-with-nourishing-marrowbone-jelly collection.
