Bulldog were an obscure spinoff of the Rascals that formed in 1971. Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli, after leaving their successful act behind, enlisted Billy Hocher, John Turi and Eric Thorngren to round out the lineup. After a successful showcase performance, Decca Records came calling and soon Bulldog's self-titled debut was released. Though the album sported some uncharacteristic heaviness that surely surprised Rascals fans, the album was a bit too short on hooks to captivate the fickle record buying public. Perhaps the gruff Bob Seger/Joe Cocker vocals of Hocher seemed like a strange pairing with the material presented. 01 - Flamingo 02 - Are You Really Happy Together 03 - Honeymoon Couple 04 - Bad Bad Girl 05 - Brown Eyed Handsome Man 06 - We Had A Real Good Time 07 - Ooh When You Smile 08 - Rock & Roll Hootchie Coo 09 - I Tip My Hat 10 - I Tried To Sleep LINK
