Pavlov's Dog - Has Anyone Here Seen Siegfried?

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, classicaland folk music turned them into cult legends. The band has seen lots of lineup changes andinternal turmoil over the years, leading to extended breaks between album releases. But today,David Surkamp - lead singer, main songwriter and last remaining original member of Pavlov'sDog - continues to fly the banner high, accompanied by an accomplished group of musiciansthat is a credit to the band's good name. For decades, Pavlov's Dog's ""lost album"" - ""HasAnyone Here Seen Siegfried?"" - recorded in St. Louis in 1977 - was available only in inferiorquality. With the rediscovery of the master tapes several years ago, it became possible to hearthe album as originally intended. Tensions within the band had reached the boiling point as theyentered the studio and would lead to a breakup soon thereafter. Nevertheless, tracks like thepiano ballad ""Only You"" and the somber ""Suicide"" are brilliant additions to the band's canon.
