It's been a half century since Pavlov's Dog burst onto the burgeoning progressive rock scene of 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. The band has seen lots of lineup changes and internal 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's Dog - continues to fly the banner high, accompanied by an accomplished group of musicians that is a credit to the band's good name. 2018's Prodigal Dreamer is a late-career milestone. Prominently featuring current member Abbie Steiling on violin, the disc's complex arrangements work with familiar elements from rock and folk to create a sound reminiscent of the band's mid-70s classics. The album made it onto eclipsed magazine's list of the top albums of 2018, while decibelgeek.com calls it "a late night chill out album (with) quality songs and lovely performances by all the musicians."
