Hot Picks Lost in America

It’s been a half century since Pavlov’s Dog burst onto the burgeoning progressive rock sceneof the early 1970s. Hailing from the city of St. Louis, Missouri, their heady blend of rock,classical and folk music turned them into cult legends.Lost In America is the result of a songwriting partnership between founding members DavidSurkamp and Doug Rayburn that bore fruit in the late 1980s. The pair is joined here byMichele Isam, who displays excellent chops on saxophone and vocals, as well as SteveScorfina, lead guitarist from the band’s early days. Though the album is often overlooked,Germany’s Rocktimes praised the 1990 incarnation of Pavlov’s Dog for it’s ability to write”snappy choruses” and “refreshing contemporary songs.”Ruf Records is happy to now release a transparent vinyl edition of this album!
