Untitled

Dog Party is a 1994 album by fusion / jazz guitarist Scott Henderson. It is a departure from his prior jazz fusion style releases, as he is exploring blues and blues-rock on this album. The album features mostly vocal tunes, mixed with some instrumentals. Most of the titles and lyrics are related to dogs, usually in a metaphoric way.
