This album shows great growth from the band's previous releases. The additions of Larry Packer on fiddle and Eric Finn on electric guitar have added much depth to the former trio's sound. The great selection of songs and wonderful lead vocals by Mike DeAngelis, John Haggerty and Rick Bedrosian have kept this CD in my car CD player since it's release last month. I dare you to try to not sing along! Almost as good as seeing them perform live.

This CD is so easy flowing, yet at the same time fun to listen to. The vocals are great, and the instrumentals are even better. I listen to this CD everyday. My parents were a fan of them, and because of that I am now too.

Beleive it or not, I am not usually a fan of this genre of music. I am into punk rock but this is such a great CD that I still listen to it.

The banjo player and vocalist, John Haggarty is my highschool guidance counselor. He's a cool guy. And I think its funny he's in a band that I enjoy.

captures the fun of a live HOD show. It's a great mix of music showcasing each of the musician's talents.

Talk about a joyful noise!

OK, so Hair of the Dog isn't purely Irish in its sound or style. The band, based in the Empire State, has obvious Appalachian influences, a bit of rock 'n' roll and even a hint of western swing in its music. But wow, the energy these five boys put out would fill even the truest Irish soul with joy.

Now this is totally a matter of taste, but if you like Irish Bar Tunes, this CD is for you!!! I've been into traditional Irish music for eight years now, and this is the best CD I own to date!

Have been a fan of HOD for a few years now, and have seen them live several times. This is an excellent album, and has been a mainstay in my car's cd player since I bought it. They have a great sound, and sing with true emotion. Great musicians also. Release the Hounds is also excellent....
