Dog Days

Limited vinyl LP pressing of this sophomore release by Blue Mountain, the American alt-country/roots rock band formed in 1991 in Oxford, Mississippi, by Cary Hudson (guitar and vocals) and Laurie Stirratt (bass and harmony vocals). Laurie is the twin sister of John Stirratt, the bass player for the like-minded Americana band Wilco. After the dissolution of their former band, The Hilltops, Hudson and Stirratt moved back to Oxford and, joined by drummer Matt Brennan, began performing and recording roots rock. Dog Days is the 1995 release from Blue Mountain and is highly regarded as a classic in the alt-country/roots rock scene.
