Where have all the boot boys gone?


Slaughter & the Dogs 'Do It Dog Style' (1978)
Exciting, energetic rock'n'roll heavily indebted to the New York Dolls and Damned. Besides the band's singles the album includes de rigueur covers of "I'm Waiting for the Man" (fair) and the Dolls' "Who Are the Mystery Girls" (wonderful), the latter also featuring (Mick) Ronson. Simple, hooky songwriting plus Wayne Barrett's endearingly zesty vocals helped distinguish the Dogs from lesser genre fare. - trouser press
