Nina Nastasia: A Dog’s Life

This was recommended to me by reader Andy Marshall, for which many thanks. It comes from Nina’s 2000 album Dogs, and you don’t get many better titles than that.

Neil Young: Old King

Neil Young wrote this following the death of his beloved towler and included it on his 1992 album Harvest Moon. Here he performs it live with Emmylou Harris.

The Be Good Tanyas: Dogsong 2

I’ve already shared Dogsong the lullaby with you, from the Tanyas’ debut album Blue Horse. This melancholy beauty is from their second LP, Chinatown, released in 2003. Listen and weep.
