Dogman is the fifth studio album released by the band King's X in 1994. The album was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who had just come off scoring big hits with Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and the Black Crowes. "Dogman" signaled a heavier direction for the group, and is often considered to be one of the group's best. The album was also supported with quite a few memorable performances opening for others, including a string of dates with Pearl Jam and the opening night of Woodstock '94. Eddie Vedder played the song "Cigarettes" off "Dogman" after a radio broadcast of a Pearl Jam performance on April 3, 1994, at the Fox Theater in Atlanta (when Vedder assumed the role of a DJ and played some of his favorite tunes).

Personnel

Album notes

  • The album was released with four different color covers. The booklet and back are available in yellow, blue, green and red. The cd itself is yellow and that seems to be the colour used for most booklet pressings as well.
  • "Dogman" is also a name given to the creature seen in a bedroom in a scene from the movie The Shining.[citation needed]
  • In an interview with RIP Magazine at the time of Dogman's release, Doug Pinnick stated the "live" version of "Manic Depression" is actually not live at all; the audience was dubbed in and Doug pretended to be bantering with the fictional crowd at the end.
