Alex Dupree releases new Americana album ‘Talking to the Dog’

Texan songwriter Alex Dupree has released a new album titled ‘Talking to the Dog’ via Scissor Tail Records. The album title is a reference to a quote by country music legend Hank Williams, who compared songwriting to talking to a dog.

Reviews characterize the work as a blend of modern folk, Americana, and country-jazz. The album features various stylistic shifts, including covers of Michael Hurley’s ‘You’re a Dog, Don’t Talk To Me’ and Scott Walker’s ‘On Your Own Again’. Original compositions are also highlighted, such as ‘I Can See Her In Your Eyes’, which features guest vocals from Jolie Holland of The Be Good Tanyas.
