Dr. Dog

In September 2007, Dr. Dog was riding high on the success of their album "Takers and Leavers," which had been released just a few months prior in May. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their signature blend of indie rock and folk, characterized by catchy melodies and rich harmonies. Interestingly, at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, where the live recording of "My Old Ways" was captured, the band found themselves stepping in at an unexpected early slot when The White Stripes canceled their set. This twist of fate not only gave them exposure to a larger audience but also served as a testament to their growing presence in the indie music scene. The energy of that live performance really encapsulates Dr. Dog's charm—just a bunch of guys who love making music, sharing it authentically with the crowd. It's fascinating how such moments can become defining points in an artist's journey, igniting connections with fans in an instant.
