Mutt is an album by the band Lost Dogs, released on Fools of the World and Lo-Fidelity Records in 2004.

Contents

For this record, band members chose three songs from their regular bands to remake them in the style of Lost Dogs. Mike Roe brought The 77s songs "It's So Sad" (from 1983's Ping Pong Over the Abyss ) and "The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes and the Pride of Life" (from 1984's The 77s ) and his own solo track "Sunshine Down" (from 2001's Say Your Prayers). Derri Daugherty brought the Choir songs, "Like a Cloud" (from 1994's Speckled Bird ) and "To Cover You" (from 1987's Wide Eyed Wonder ), plus the modern hymn "Beautiful Scandalous Night." Terry Scott Taylor brought the Daniel Amos songs "If You Want To" (from 1991's Kalhoun ), "Grace Is the Smell of Rain" (from 1993's MotorCycle ) and the first song D. A. recorded, "Ain't Gonna Fight It." The trio then added one new track to the end of the record, "I'm Setting You Free (But I'm Not Letting You Go)."

Instead of simply recreating the original performances, each song was given a facelift with different singers taking over the lead vocals. For example, Roe and Daugherty would tackle the D. A songs, and Taylor and Daugherty would sing the 77s tracks. The song that perhaps received the most noticeable rearrangement was the 77's "It's So Sad," which was turned into a rockabilly tune.
