Acoustic Guitar

Dream of the Serpent Dog - Review

Acoustic Guitar  - June 1998

Bobby E., Clint Hoover, Jim Chenoweth, Dream of the Serpent Dog.   This exceedingly hip combo from the Twin Cities lays out ten original tunes expertly performed on acoustic guitar, upright bass, harmonica, and percussion.  From the cool, swinging riffs of guitarist Bobby E.'s "Riptide" to Hoover's slow-burning "Tonguin' Groove," the playing and writing is engaging and refreshing.  While each musician contributes many fine moments, the blend they create is most exquisite.
