Farm Dogs - Last Stand In Open Country

Farm Dogs — Last Stand In Open Country 2LP

1996 album from Farm Dogs, a country rock band led by Bernie Taupin (Elton John lyricist). Last Stand in Open Country is a lost gem (originally released on the Warner label Discovery in 1996), the kind of music you want to hear as the sun sets, stoke a fire and keep good company with friends and dogs (very much in the vein of Tumbleweed Connection-era Elton John).

The band comprises Bernie Taupin on vocals; Jim Cregan on guitars and vocals (Family, Rod Stewart to name just two of his affiliations), Robin Le Mesurier on guitars and dobro (also Rod Stewart), Dennis Tufano on harp and vocals (The Buckinghams) and Tony Brock on drums.
