Inspired by the research carried out by a renowned ethnomusicologist, Alan Lomax, Howlin' Dogs present a repertoire that brings an overview of contemporary American folk songs of the last century. Historical recordings and transcriptions of these songs have been adapted to a new sound without overlooking their origin as the pillars of blues. These traditional songs, which had already resulted in multiple versions due to their oral transmission, have once again been casted into the present.
