Sven the Love Dog

"... 10 1/2 year old mixbreed, Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's owner Steve Brooks.
... Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself"

Wolf Talk

"This recording consists of sounds of the wolves mixed with bird calls and water sounds. ..."
A Closet of Curiosities gives us Wolf Talk

"Part 1: You'll hear the calls and howls of wolves and the sounds of the following guest speakers: spring peepers, wood frogs, crow, barred owl, red-winged blackbirds, blue jay, chickadees, nuthatches, and one great horned owl."
Boomp3.com
That's the G-R-E-A-T-E-S-T horned owl I ever heard recorded!!!
The guest stars here make a superb backing band with a great natural back-to-the-roots kind of sound. And the main attraction here - the wolves - are really down with it. They've got the blues, alright! And like all great blues singers they're not show-offs. This is the real deal.
It's truly a wild and animalistic performance altogether.

What kind of worries me is that their follow-up has been put on delay, but the title has already been leaked to the press: North Korean Democracy.
