Sole album by American bluesy hard rock band is definetely among great albums of
the late '80s. Sadly underrated upon its release, this record is now considered
as a classic LA Metal release.
SALTY DOG was formed in late 1986 in Los Angeles by Jimmi Bleacher, Scott Lane,
Michael Hannon and Khurt Maier. The band released its first and only major-label
record in 1990, titled "Every Dog Has Its Day," composed of all original songs
except for a cover of Willie Dixon's 'Spoonful'. Guitarist Pete Reveen is the
son of the magician Peter Reveen. The band, like many other hard-rock/metal
bands in the early 1990s, were lost in the shuffle when the grunge-rock movement
hit in late 1991 and swept the nation in 1992. Rumours have it that SALTY DOG
were to have a video aired on MTV for the single "Come Along", until their A&R
representative at Geffen Records (whom they had a dispute with) told the network
that if they were to air the song he would withhold the next GUNS N' ROSES
video. The video never aired and the band were dropped from Geffen shortly
thereafter. Michael Hannon currently plays bass and is the lead singer of
AMERICAN DOG. His new band is made up of Michael Hannon (bass and vocal), Steve
Theado (guitar) and Michael Harris (drums).
Pete Reveen, for some time, had played in the Las Vegas, Nevada-based classic
rock tribute band THREE BLIND MICE. (from Wikipedia)
