\"\"<\/a>Sweden\u2019s much-loved and well-travelled charismatic rock \u2018n\u2019 rollers Diamond Dogs have returned to the scene and they are bringing re-releases of their first 5 albums with them. Released through the Wild Kingdom record label, these 5 LPs cover the first 10 years of their existence, which began in 1993 with the album Honked.<\/p>\n

Honked set the scene for the coming years for the Dogs. Headed by the singer\/songwriter Sulo, the band would at various points involve musicians from a worldwide spectrum of spectacular and influential bands. Honked was big news in Sweden, and it pushed their boundaries far beyond Scandinavia, with single \u2018Blue Eyes Shouldn\u2019t Be Cryin\u2019\u2019 making its way onto MTV rotation, back when the M meant Music and not Money. It would see them tour all over the world with some of the biggest household names.<\/p>\n

The album now has been repackaged as Honked (All Over Again) and includes three additional tracks in Lucille (Richard\u2019s, not Kenny\u2019s), Sweet Sister Sunrise and Big Bayou (originally by Swampwater and then covered extensively). Many years following its original release, Honked is still brimming with that delightful charm that has always been instilled in the Dogs\u2019 music. Raunchy and swaggering, the Dogs\u2019 music is unapologetically 70s inspired rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, rolling in a sweet mix of the Faces and the Stones. The song writing and the energy captured in the production ensure that it still stands up now.<\/p>\n

The Diamond Dogs have always delivered this music in the best way possible \u2013 with honesty and charisma. If you like the Black Crowes or the Quireboys, and for some cruel reason the Diamond Dogs passed you by, diving into these 5 re-releases should set you straight. And there\u2019s no better place to start than right at the beginning with Honked.<\/p>\n
