A fixture in Baltimore's "Live Blues Music Scene" since 1998, Rude Dog is proud to present, "RESURRECTION - Rude Dog's Greatest Hits." The album is "Certified Rusty Nickel" with well UNDER one million copies sold (but we keep trying).

This compilation features 7 tracks from Rude Dogâs debut CD, âThe Dog Is In The House, which was released in 2001 and is now out of print. They include; Iâm Ready, They Call Me The Rude Dog, Crab Town Crawl, Dirty Lipstick, The Dog Is In The House and the previously unreleased Radio Edit version of Gallis Pole (Hangmanâs Blues).

2003âs âBaltimore on Tapâ release featured 12 of Baltimoreâs Best Blues Bands. It began with some of the basic rhythm tracks leftover from Rudeâs previous album. Born Under A Bad Sign was cobbled together and made into a rhythm loop with guitar and organ overdubbed and originally given to another singer. This early Rude vocal mix recorded in 2002 was previously unreleased.

At the same time Rude was producing other musicians for âBaltimore on Tapâ he began recording tracks for a new album. âProdigal Sonâ was a Limited Edition EP released in December of 2003 with tracks completed at that time. Phone Call From Leavenworth, Standing With The Devil and the original version of Prodigal Son were part of this 5 song EP that is now out of print.

By August of 2004, Rude was finally ready to release, âBaptism In Blue.â The 14 track collection of classic blues tunes was Rudeâs tribute to to the rockerâs âwho,â in Rudeâs own words, â...brought me down to the water and baptized me in the blues.â Featured here are Back Door Man, You Got To Move and River Runs Deep.

In September of 2004, Rudeâs band was set to record âLive Catâs Eye,â at Baltimoreâs infamous blues joint. But as often happens at âThe Cat,â other musicians stopped by and sat in. It ended up as a âLiveâ follow-up to the âBaltimore On Tapâ release. Shake Your Hips features Automatic Slim on guitar, and the late âLazyâ Lenny on harp, sitting in with Rudeâs band.

With four years of recording and production under his belt, Rude had some leftover tracks and out-takes in the vault. He brought his old harp player to do some over-dubs and the result was a 5 song Limited Edition EP entitled, âMy Little Hampden Hon (2005). Included with the title track is the original vocal take of Love In Vain from 2001âs âThe Dog is In The Houseâ CD with Dave Gofreed on harp.
